This update has been rated as having moderate security impact by the Red Hat Security Response Team.
FreeType is a free, high-quality, and portable font engine.
Chris Evans discovered several integer underflow and overflow flaws in the FreeType font engine. If a user loads a carefully crafted font file with a program linked against FreeType, it could cause the application to crash or execute arbitrary code as the user. While it is uncommon for a user to explicitly load a font file, there are several application file formats which contain embedded fonts that are parsed by FreeType. (CVE-2006-0747, CVE-2006-1861, CVE-2006-3467)
A NULL pointer dereference flaw was found in the FreeType font engine.
An application linked against FreeType can crash upon loading a malformed font file. (CVE-2006-2661)
Users of FreeType should upgrade to these updated packages, which contain backported patches to correct these issues.
