CWE-119

Description

The Load_SBit_Png function in sfnt/pngshim.c in FreeType before 2.5.4 does not restrict the rows and pitch values of PNG data, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (integer overflow and heap-based buffer overflow) or possibly have unspecified other impact by embedding a PNG file in a .ttf font file.

Affected configurations

• fedoraproject fedora 20 • fedoraproject fedora 21 • canonical ubuntu linux 10.04 • canonical ubuntu linux 12.04 • canonical ubuntu linux 14.04 • canonical ubuntu linux 14.10 • canonical ubuntu linux 15.10 • freetype freetype (<= 2.5.3) • opensuse opensuse 13.1 • opensuse opensuse 13.2
