Base vector

AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:N/A:N

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions FreeType versions prior to 2.5.4

Description The issue allows remote attackers to discover heap pointer values and bypass the ASLR protection mechanism via a crafted BDF font. This is due to the way property names are identified in the bdf/bdflib.c file, which only verifies that an initial substring is present.

Recommendations For versions prior to 2.5.4, update to version 2.5.4 or later to resolve the issue.
