Scientific Linux: 2008-1806 Critical Freetype Font Parsing Flaw

Important: freetype security update. Date: Mon, 23 Jun 2008 14:18:34 -0500 Reply-To: Troy Dawson Sender: Security Errata for Scientific Linux From: Troy Dawson Subject: Security ERRATA for freetype on SL3.x, SL4.x, SL5.x i386/x86_64 Comments: To: "This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it." Synopsis: Important: freetype security update Issue date: 2008-06-20 CVE Names: CVE-2008-1806 CVE-2008-1807 CVE-2008-1808 Multiple flaws were discovered in FreeType's Printer Font Binary (PFB) and TrueType Font (TTF) font-file format parsers. If a user loaded a carefully crafted font-file with a program linked against FreeType, it could cause the application to crash, or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2008-1806, CVE-2008-1807, CVE-2008-1808) Note: the flaw in FreeType's TrueType Font (TTF) font-file format parser, covered by CVE-2008-1808, did not affect the freetype packages as shipped in Scientific Linux 3, 4, and 5, as they are not compiled with TTF Byte Code Interpreter (BCI) support. SL 3.0.x SRPMS: freetype-2.1.4-8.el3.src.rpm i386: freetype-2.1.4-8.el3.i386.rpm freetype-demos-2.1.4-8.el3.i386.rpm freetype-devel-2.1.4-8.el3.i386.rpm freetype-utils-2.1.4-8.el3.i386.rpm x86_64: freetype-2.1.4-8.el3.i386.rpm freetype-2.1.4-8.el3.x86_64.rpm freetype-demos-2.1.4-8.el3.x86_64.rpm freetype-devel-2.1.4-8.el3.x86_64.rpm freetype-utils-2.1.4-8.el3.x86_64.rpm SL 4.x SRPMS: freetype-2.1.9-7.el4.6.src.rpm i386: freetype-2.1.9-7.el4.6.i386.rpm freetype-demos-2.1.9-7.el4.6.i386.rpm freetype-devel-2.1.9-7.el4.6.i386.rpm freetype-utils-2.1.9-7.el4.6.i386.rpm x86_64: freetype-2.1.9-7.el4.6.i386.rpm freetype-2.1.9-7.el4.6.x86_64.rpm freetype-demos-2.1.9-7.el4.6.x86_64.rpm freetype-devel-2.1.9-7.el4.6.x86_64.rpm freetype-utils-2.1.9-7.el4.6.x86_64.rpm SL 5.x SRPMS: freetype-2.2.1-20.el5_2.src.rpm i386: freetype-2.2.1-20.el5_2.i386.rpm freetype-demos-2.2.1-20.el5_2.i386.rpm freetype-devel-2.2.1-20.el5_2.i386.rpm x86_64: freetype-2.2.1-20.el5_2.i386.rpm freetype-2.2.1-20.el5_2.x86_64.rpm freetype-demos-2.2.1-20.el5_2.x86_64.rpm freetype-devel-2.2.1-20.el5_2.i386.rpm freetype-devel-2.2.1-20.el5_2.x86_64.rpm -Connie Sieh -Troy Dawson .
