Detail

A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:

- Ubuntu 14.10 - Ubuntu 14.04 LTS - Ubuntu 12.04 LTS - Ubuntu 10.04 LTS

Summary:

FreeType could be made to crash or run programs as your login if it opened a specially crafted file.

Software Description: - freetype: FreeType 2 is a font engine library

Details:

Mateusz Jurczyk discovered that FreeType did not correctly handle certain malformed font files. If a user were tricked into using a specially crafted font file, a remote attacker could cause FreeType to crash or possibly execute arbitrary code with user privileges.

Update instructions:

The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following package versions:

Ubuntu 14.10:
libfreetype6 2.5.2-2ubuntu1.1

Ubuntu 14.04 LTS:
libfreetype6 2.5.2-1ubuntu2.4

Ubuntu 12.04 LTS:
libfreetype6 2.4.8-1ubuntu2.2

Ubuntu 10.04 LTS:
libfreetype6 2.3.11-1ubuntu2.8
