Heap-based buffer overflow in the Ins_IUP function in truetype/ttinterp.c in FreeType before 2.4.0, when TrueType bytecode support is enabled, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted font file.

This update of freetype2 fixes several vulnerabilities that could lead to remote system compromise by executing arbitrary code with user privileges :

  - CVE-2010-1797: stack-based buffer overflow while     processing CFF opcodes

  - CVE-2010-2497: integer underflow

  - CVE-2010-2498: invalid free

  - CVE-2010-2499: buffer overflow

  - CVE-2010-2500: integer overflow

  - CVE-2010-2519: heap buffer overflow

  - CVE-2010-2520: heap buffer overflow

  - CVE-2010-2527: buffer overflows in the freetype demo

  - CVE-2010-2541: buffer overflow in ftmulti demo program

  - CVE-2010-2805: improper bounds checking

  - CVE-2010-2806: improper bounds checking

  - CVE-2010-2807: improper type comparisons

  - CVE-2010-2808: memory corruption flaw by processing     certain LWFN fonts

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-201201-09 (FreeType: Multiple vulnerabilities)

    Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in FreeType. Please review       the CVE identifiers referenced below for details.
  Impact :

    A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted font,       possibly resulting in the remote execution of arbitrary code with the       privileges of the user running the application, or a Denial of Service.
  Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time.

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Fedora security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Multiple vulnerabilities has been found and corrected in freetype2 :

Multiple integer underflows/overflows and heap buffer overflows was discovered and fixed (CVE-2010-2497, CVE-2010-2498, CVE-2010-2499, CVE-2010-2500, CVE-2010-2519).

A heap buffer overflow was discovered in the bytecode support. The bytecode support is NOT enabled per default in Mandriva due to previous patent claims, but packages by PLF is affected (CVE-2010-2520).

Packages for 2008.0 and 2009.0 are provided as of the Extended Maintenance Program. Please visit this link to learn more:
http://store.mandriva.com/product_info.php?cPath=149&amp;products_id=4 90

The updated packages have been patched to correct these issues.

Robert Swiecki discovered that FreeType did not correctly handle certain malformed font files. If a user were tricked into using a specially crafted font file, a remote attacker could execute arbitrary code with user privileges.

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Robert Swiecki discovered several vulnerabilities in the FreeType font library, which could lead to the execution of arbitrary code if a malformed font file is processed.

Also, several buffer overflows were found in the included demo programs.
