Synopsis

Moderate: freetype security update

Type/Severity

Security Advisory Moderate

Topic

An update for freetype is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.

Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having a security impact of Moderate. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base score, which gives a detailed severity rating, is available for each vulnerability from the CVE link(s) in the References section.

Description

FreeType is a free, high-quality, portable font engine that can open and manage font files. FreeType loads, hints, and renders individual glyphs efficiently.

Security Fix(es):

  • freetype: a heap-based buffer over-read in T1_Get_Private_Dict in type1/t1parse.c leading to information disclosure (CVE-2015-9381)

  • freetype: mishandling ps_parser_skip_PS_token in an FT_New_Memory_Face operation in skip_comment, psaux/psobjs.c, leads to a buffer over-read (CVE-2015-9382)
