Fedora 42: 2025-3140334065 moderate: sfnt2woff-zopfli security patch

fedora
Calendar Grey May 20, 2025
Dist Fedora Esm H88
Key announcement for Fedora 42 tackling vulnerabilities found in sfnt2woff-zopfli. Vital corrections incorporated in the advisory.
Security fix for CVE-2010-1028 and other security-relevant bugs; see https://github.com/bramstein/sfnt2woff-zopfli/pull/20/commits.

Summary

This is a modified version of the sfnt2woff utility that uses Zopfli as a

compression algorithm instead of zlib. This results in compression gains of —

on average — 5-8% compared to regular WOFF files. Zopfli generates compressed

output that is compatible with regular zlib compression so the resulting WOFF

files can be used everywhere.

A corresponding version of the woff2sfnt utility is also provided.
