Detail

Product: Solaris 9 Operating System, Solaris 10 Operating System, Solaris 8 Operating System

An integer overflow leading to a heap overflow vulnerability in the FreeType 2 Font Engine, which is shipped with Solaris, may affect applications that make use of this library. Depending on the application, this may allow a local or remote unprivileged user to crash the application using FreeType (which is a type of Denial of Service), or to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the application.

This issue is described in the following document:

Avoidance: Patch
State: Resolved
