Synopsis

The remote Oracle Linux host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

The remote Oracle Linux 5 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ELSA-2010-0578 advisory.

 - Modify freetype-2.2.1-CVE-2010-2519.patch (additional fix) (If the type of the POST fragment is 0, the segment is completely ignored)
 - Add freetype-2.2.1-CVE-2010-2527.patch (Use precision for '%s' where appropriate to avoid buffer overflows)
 - Add freetype-2.2.1-CVE-2010-2498.patch (Assure that 'end_point' is not larger than 'glyph->num_points')
 - Add freetype-2.2.1-CVE-2010-2499.patch (Check the buffer size during gathering PFB fragments)
 - Add freetype-2.2.1-CVE-2010-2500.patch (Use smaller threshold values for 'width' and 'height')
 - Add freetype-2.2.1-CVE-2010-2519.patch (Check 'rlen' the length of fragment declared in the POST fragment header)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Oracle 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 affected freetype, freetype-demos and / or freetype-devel packages.
