|
Greg MacManus of iDefense Labs has discovered an integer overflow in
|
|
the function bdfReadCharacters() when parsing BDF fonts.

<impact type="normal">
|
|
<p>
|
|
A remote attacker could entice a user to use a specially crafted BDF
|
|
font, possibly resulting in a heap-based buffer overflow and the remote
|
|
execution of arbitrary code.
