RHEL 6 : freetype (RHSA-2019:4254)

high Nessus Plugin ID 132231

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Red Hat host is missing one or more security updates for freetype.

Description

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 6 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2019:4254 advisory.

FreeType is a free, high-quality, portable font engine that can open and manage font files. FreeType loads, hints, and renders individual glyphs efficiently.

Security Fix(es):

* freetype: a heap-based buffer over-read in T1_Get_Private_Dict in type1/t1parse.c leading to information disclosure (CVE-2015-9381)

* freetype: mishandling ps_parser_skip_PS_token in an FT_New_Memory_Face operation in skip_comment, psaux/psobjs.c, leads to a buffer over-read (CVE-2015-9382)

For more details about the security issue(s), including the impact, a CVSS score, acknowledgments, and other related information, refer to the CVE page(s) listed in the References section.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Red Hat Enterprise Linux security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Update the RHEL freetype package based on the guidance in RHSA-2019:4254.
