Detail

A vulnerability has been discovered and corrected in freetype2:

Multiple stack overflow flaws have been reported in the way FreeType font rendering engine processed certain CFF opcodes. An attacker could use these flaws to create a specially-crafted font file that, when opened, would cause an application linked against libfreetype to crash, or, possibly execute arbitrary code (CVE-2010-1797).

Packages for 2008.0 and 2009.0 are provided as of the Extended Maintenance Program. Please visit this link to learn more: http://store.mandriva.com/product_info.php?cPath=149&products_id=490

The updated packages have been patched to correct this issue.
