FreeType is vulnerable to denial of service (DoS). An integer overflow flaw was found in the way the FreeType font engine processed BDF font files. If a user loaded a carefully crafted font file with a program linked against FreeType, it could cause the application to crash or execute arbitrary code. 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.
