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.

 

Multiple flaws were found in the way FreeType handled TrueType Font (TTF),

Glyph Bitmap Distribution Format (BDF), Windows .fnt and .fon, and

PostScript Type 1 fonts. If a specially-crafted font file was loaded by an

application linked against FreeType, it could cause the application to

crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the

user running the application. (CVE-2012-1134, CVE-2012-1136, CVE-2012-1142,

CVE-2012-1144)

 

Multiple flaws were found in the way FreeType handled fonts in various

formats. If a specially-crafted font file was loaded by an application

linked against FreeType, it could cause the application to crash.

(CVE-2012-1126, CVE-2012-1127, CVE-2012-1130, CVE-2012-1131, CVE-2012-1132,

CVE-2012-1137, CVE-2012-1139, CVE-2012-1140, CVE-2012-1141, CVE-2012-1143)

 

Red Hat would like to thank Mateusz Jurczyk of the Google Security Team for

reporting these issues.

 

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

backported patch to correct these issues. The X server must be restarted

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