Details

Updated freetype packages that fix various security issues are now
available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3, 4, and 5.

This update has been rated as having important security impact by the Red
Hat Security Response Team.

[Updated 25th June 2008]
The original packages for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 and 4 distributed with
this errata had a bug which prevented freetype library from loading certain
font files correctly. We have updated the packages to correct this bug.

FreeType is a free, high-quality, portable font engine that can open and
manage font files, as well as efficiently load, hint and render individual
glyphs.

Multiple flaws were discovered in FreeType's Printer Font Binary (PFB)
font-file format parser. If a user loaded a carefully crafted font-file
with a program linked against FreeType, it could cause the application to
crash, or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2008-1806, CVE-2008-1807,
CVE-2008-1808)

Note: the flaw in FreeType's TrueType Font (TTF) font-file format parser,
covered by CVE-2008-1808, did not affect the freetype packages as shipped
in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3, 4, and 5, as they are not compiled with TTF
Byte Code Interpreter (BCI) support.

Users of freetype should upgrade to these updated packages, which contain
backported patches to resolve these issues.

Solution

Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released
errata relevant to your system have been applied.

This update is available via Red Hat Network. Details on how to use
