|
|
Victor Stinner discovered a heap-based buffer overflow in the function
|
|
Get_VMetrics() in src/truetype/ttgload.c when processing TTF files with
|
|
a negative n_points attribute.

|

<impact type="normal">
|
|
<p>
|
|
A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted TTF
|
|
file, possibly resulting in the execution of arbitrary code with the
|
|
privileges of the user running FreeType.
