CWE-20

Description

The (1) cf2_initLocalRegionBuffer and (2) cf2_initGlobalRegionBuffer functions in cff/cf2ft.c in FreeType before 2.5.3 do not properly check if a subroutine exists, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (assertion failure), as demonstrated by a crafted ttf file.

Affected configurations

• freetype freetype (<= 2.5.2) • freetype freetype 2.5 • freetype freetype 2.5.1 • canonical ubuntu linux 13.10
