Amazon Linux AMI : freetype (ALAS-2020-1348)

high Nessus Plugin ID 134570

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Amazon Linux AMI host is missing a security update.

Description

The version of freetype installed on the remote host is prior to 2.3.11-19.15. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS-2020-1348 advisory.

 FreeType before 2.6.1 has a heap-based buffer over-read in T1_Get_Private_Dict in type1/t1parse.c.
 (CVE-2015-9381)

 FreeType before 2.6.1 has a buffer over-read in skip_comment in psaux/psobjs.c because ps_parser_skip_PS_token is mishandled in an FT_New_Memory_Face operation. (CVE-2015-9382)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the tested product 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

Run 'yum update freetype' to update your system.
