Detail

Synopsis

Multiple vulnerabilities have been found in FreeType, allowing context-dependent attackers to possibly execute arbitrary code or cause Denial of Service.

Background

FreeType is a high-quality and portable font engine.

Description

Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in FreeType. Please review the CVE identifiers referenced below for details.

Impact

A context-dependent attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted font, possibly resulting in execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the application, or a Denial of Service condition.

Workaround

There is no known workaround at this time.

Resolution

All Freetype users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=media-libs/freetype-2.4.11"

Packages which depend on this library may need to be recompiled. Tools such as revdep-rebuild may assist in identifying these packages.
