Detail
Problem Description: Updated freetype packages that fix various security issues are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 and 5. The Red Hat Security Response Team has rated this update as having important security impact. Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base scores, which give detailed severity ratings, are available for each vulnerability from the CVE links in the References section. 2. Relevant releases/architectures: RHEL Desktop Workstation (v. 5 client) - i386, x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux (v. 5 server) - i386, ia64, ppc, s390x, x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS version 4 - i386, ia64, ppc, s390, s390x, x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux Desktop (v. 5 client) - i386, x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux Desktop version 4 - i386, x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES version 4 - i386, ia64, x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux WS version 4 - i386, ia64, x86_64 3. Description: FreeType is a free, high-quality, portable font engine that can open and manage font files. It also loads, hints, and renders individual glyphs efficiently. The freetype packages for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 provide both the FreeType 1 and FreeType 2 font engines. The freetype packages for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 provide only the FreeType 2 font engine. An invalid memory management flaw was found in the way the FreeType font engine processed font files. If a user loaded a carefully-crafted font file with an application linked against FreeType, it could cause the application to crash or, possibly, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the application. (CVE-2010-2498) An integer overflow flaw was found in the way the FreeType font engine processed font files. If a user loaded a carefully-crafted font file with an application linked against FreeType, it could cause the application to crash or, possibly, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the application. (CVE-2010-2500) Several buffer overflow flaws were found in the way the FreeType font engine processed font files. If a user loaded a carefully-crafted font file with an application linked against FreeType, it could cause the application to crash or, possibly, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the application. (CVE-2010-2499, CVE-2010-2519) Several buffer overflow flaws were found in the FreeType demo applications. If a user loaded a carefully-crafted font file with a demo application, it could cause the application to crash or, possibly, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the application. (CVE-2010-2527, CVE-2010-2541) Red Hat would like to thank Robert Swiecki of the Google Security Team for the discovery of the CVE-2010-2498, CVE-2010-2500, CVE-2010-2499, CVE-2010-2519, and CVE-2010-2527 issues. Note: All of the issues in this erratum only affect the FreeType 2 font engine. Users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which contain backported patches to correct these issues. The X server must be restarted (log out, then log back in) for this update to take effect. 4. Solution: Before applying this update, make sure all previously-released errata relevant to your system have been applied. This update is available via the Red Hat Network. Details on how to use the Red Hat Network to apply this update are available at http://kbase.redhat.com/faq/docs/DOC-11259 5. Bugs fixed (http://bugzilla.redhat.com/): 613160 - CVE-2010-2498 freetype: invalid free vulnerability with possible heap corruption 613162 - CVE-2010-2499 freetype: buffer overflow vulnerability 613167 - CVE-2010-2500 freetype: integer overflow vulnerability in smooth/ftgrays.c 613194 - CVE-2010-2519 freetype: heap buffer overflow vulnerability when processing certain font files 614557 - CVE-2010-2527 Freetype demos multiple buffer overflows 617342 - CVE-2010-2541 Freetype ftmulti buffer overflow |

Title: | DSA-2070-1 freetype -- several | ||
Description: | Robert Swiecki discovered several vulnerabilities in the FreeType font library, which could lead to the execution of arbitrary code if a malformed font file is processed. Also, several buffer overflows were found in the included demo programs. For the stable distribution, these problems have been fixed in version 2.3.7-2+lenny2. For the unstable distribution, these problems have been fixed in version 2.4.0-1. We recommend that you upgrade your freetype packages. | ||
