+ Font parsing vulnerabilities in FreeType might lead to user-assisted

+ <background>
+ <p>
+ FreeType is a font rendering library for TrueType Font (TTF) and
+ Printer Font Binary (PFB).
+ </p>
+ </background>
+ <description>
+ <p>
+ Regenrecht reported multiple vulnerabilities in FreeType via iDefense:
+ </p>
+ <ul>
+ <li>
+ An integer overflow when parsing values in the Private dictionary table
+ in a PFB file, leading to a heap-based buffer overflow
+ (CVE-2008-1806).
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ An invalid free() call related to parsing an invalid "number of axes"
+ field in a PFB file (CVE-2008-1807).
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ Multiple off-by-one errors when parsing PBF and TTF files, leading to
+ heap-based buffer overflows (CVE-2008-1808).
+ </li>
+ </ul>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="normal">
+ <p>
+ A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted TTF
+ or PBF file, possibly resulting in the execution of arbitrary code with
+ the privileges of the user running an application linked against
+ FreeType (such as the X.org X server, running as root).
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ There is no known workaround at this time.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ All FreeType users should upgrade to the latest version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=media-libs/freetype-2.3.6&quot;</code>
