- ------------------------------------------------------------------------Package        : freetype
Vulnerability  : integer overflow
Problem-Type   : local
Debian-specific: no
CVE ID         : CVE-2007-1351

Greg MacManus discovered an integer overflow in the font handling of
libfreetype, a FreeType 2 font engine, which might lead to denial of
service or possibly the execution of arbitrary code if a user is tricked
into opening a malformed font.

For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem has been fixed in
version 2.3.5-1.

For the stable distribution (etch), this problem has been fixed in
version 2.2.1-5+etch2.

For the old stable distribution (sarge) this problem will be fixed
soon.

We recommend that you upgrade your freetype packages.
