CentOS Errata and Security Advisory CESA-2006:0500-01

FreeType is a free, high-quality, and portable font engine.

Chris Evans discovered several integer underflow and overflow flaws in the
FreeType font engine. If a user loads a carefully crafted font file with a
program linked against FreeType, it could cause the application to crash or
execute arbitrary code as the user. While it is uncommon for a user to
explicitly load a font file, there are several application file formats
which contain embedded fonts that are parsed by FreeType. (CVE-2006-0747,
CVE-2006-1861, CVE-2006-3467)

A NULL pointer dereference flaw was found in the FreeType font engine. An
application linked against FreeType can crash upon loading a malformed font
file. (CVE-2006-2661)

Users of FreeType should upgrade to these updated packages, which contain
backported patches to correct these issues.
