CVE-2012-1139: Buffer Overflow
First published: Tue Mar 06 2012(Updated: )
An array index error, leading to out-of stack-based buffer read flaw was found in the way FreeType font rendering engine processed certain glyph information for glyph bitmap distribution format (BDF) font files. A remote attacker could provide a specially-crafted BDF font file, which once opened in an application linked against FreeType would lead to that application crash.
