3. Description:

 

FreeType is a free, high-quality, portable font engine that can open and

manage font files. It also loads, hints, and renders individual glyphs

efficiently. The freetype packages for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 provide

both the FreeType 1 and FreeType 2 font engines. The freetype packages for

Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 and 6 provide only the FreeType 2 font engine.

 

A heap-based buffer overflow flaw was found in the way the FreeType font

rendering engine processed certain TrueType GX fonts. If a user loaded a

specially-crafted font file with an application linked against FreeType, it

could cause the application to crash or, possibly, execute arbitrary code

with the privileges of the user running the application. (CVE-2010-3855)

 

Note: This issue only affects the FreeType 2 font engine.

 

Users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which contain a

backported patch to correct this issue. The X server must be restarted (log

out, then log back in) for this update to take effect.

 

4. Solution:

 

Before applying this update, make sure all previously-released errata

relevant to your system have been applied.

 

This update is available via the Red Hat Network. Details on how to

use the Red Hat Network to apply this update are available at

http://kbase.redhat.com/faq/docs/DOC-11259

 

5. Bugs fixed (http://bugzilla.redhat.com/):
