Description Johannes Segitz 2015-02-09 10:56:49 UTC

CVE-2014-9659

cff/cf2intrp.c in the CFF CharString interpreter in FreeType before 2.5.4
proceeds with additional hints after the hint mask has been computed, which
allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service
(stack-based buffer overflow) via a crafted OpenType font.  NOTE: this
vulnerability exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2014-2240.
