CVE-2012-1126: Buffer Overflow
First published: Tue Mar 06 2012(Updated: )
An out-of heap-based buffer read flaw was found in the way FreeType font rendering engine performed: 1) adding of properties, 2) parsing of properties, 3) checking if particular property is an atom for Glyph bitmap distribution format (BDF) fonts. A remote attacker could provide a specially-crafted BDF font file, which once processed in an application linked against FreeType would lead to that application crash.
