Synopsis: Important: freetype security update
Issue Date: 2013-01-31
CVE Numbers: CVE-2012-5669
—
A flaw was found in the way the FreeType font rendering engine processed
certain Glyph Bitmap Distribution Format (BDF) fonts. If a user loaded a
specially-crafted font file with an application linked against FreeType, it
could cause the application to crash or, possibly, execute arbitrary code with
the privileges of the user running the application. (CVE-2012-5669)
The X server must be restarted (log out, then log back in) for this update to
take effect.
