Debian Security Advisory DSA-1784-1 security@debian.org
http://www.debian.org/security/ Nico Golde
April 30th, 2009 http://www.debian.org/security/faq
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------

Package : freetype
Vulnerability : integer overflows
Problem type : local (remote)
Debian-specific: no
CVE ID : CVE-2009-0946


Tavis Ormandy discovered several integer overflows in FreeType, a library
to process and access font files, resulting in heap- or stack-based
buffer overflows leading to application crashes or the execution
of arbitrary code via a crafted font file.


For the oldstable distribution (etch), this problem has been fixed in
version 2.2.1-5+etch4.

For the stable distribution (lenny), this problem has been fixed in
version 2.3.7-2+lenny1.

For the testing distribution (squeeze), this problem will be fixed soon.

For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem has been fixed in
version 2.3.9-4.1.


We recommend that you upgrade your freetype packages.

Upgrade instructions
- --------------------

You may use an automated update by adding the resources from the
footer to the proper configuration.
