FreeType is a font rendering library for TrueType Font (TTF) and
Printer Font Binary (PFB).

<description>
<p>
Regenrecht reported multiple vulnerabilities in FreeType via iDefense:
</p>
<ul>
<li>
An integer overflow when parsing values in the Private dictionary table
in a PFB file, leading to a heap-based buffer overflow
(CVE-2008-1806).
</li>
<li>
An invalid free() call related to parsing an invalid "number of axes"
field in a PFB file (CVE-2008-1807).
</li>
<li>
Multiple off-by-one errors when parsing PBF and TTF files, leading to
heap-based buffer overflows (CVE-2008-1808).
</li>
</ul>
</description>
<impact type="normal">
<p>
A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted TTF
or PBF file, possibly resulting in the execution of arbitrary code with
the privileges of the user running an application linked against
FreeType (such as the X.org X server, running as root).
</p>
</impact>
<workaround>
<p>
There is no known workaround at this time.
</p>
</workaround>
<resolution>
<p>
All FreeType users should upgrade to the latest version:
</p>
<code>
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=media-libs/freetype-2.3.6&quot;</code>
</resolution>
