Red Hat Security Advisory: fontconfig security and bug fix update

Severity

Moderate

Scope

1 vulnerability in this advisory, including CVE-2016-5384.

CVE-2016-5384

It was found that cache files were insufficiently validated in fontconfig. A local attacker could create a specially crafted cache file to trigger arbitrary free() calls, which in turn could lead to arbitrary code execution.

4.5 (Medium)
