    - -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Debian Security Advisory DSA-1784-1 [email protected] http://www.debian.org/security/ Nico Golde April 30th, 2009 http://www.debian.org/security/faq
    - --------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Package : freetype
    Vulnerability : integer overflows
    Problem type : local (remote)
    Debian-specific: no
    CVE ID : CVE-2009-0946


    Tavis Ormandy discovered several integer overflows in FreeType, a library
    to process and access font files, resulting in heap- or stack-based
    buffer overflows leading to application crashes or the execution
    of arbitrary code via a crafted font file.


    For the oldstable distribution (etch), this problem has been fixed in
    version 2.2.1-5+etch4.

    For the stable distribution (lenny), this problem has been fixed in
    version 2.3.7-2+lenny1.

    For the testing distribution (squeeze), this problem will be fixed soon.

    For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem has been fixed in
    version 2.3.9-4.1.


    We recommend that you upgrade your freetype packages.

    Upgrade instructions
    - --------------------

    wget url
    will fetch the file for you
    dpkg -i file.deb
    will install the referenced file.

    If you are using the apt-get package manager, use the line for
    sources.list as given below:

    apt-get update
    will update the internal database

    You may use an automated update by adding the resources from the
    footer to the proper configuration.
