Security Bulletin
This security bulletin contains information about 4 vulnerabilities.
1) Out-of-bounds write
EUVDB-ID: #VU65639
Risk: High
CVSSv3.1: 8.5 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]
CVE-ID: CVE-2022-27404
CWE-ID:
CWE-787 - Out-of-bounds write
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise vulnerable system.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error when processing untrusted input in the "sfnt_init_face" function. A remote attacker can trigger out-of-bounds write and execute arbitrary code on the target system.
MitigationUpdate the affected packages.
media-libs/freetype to version: 2.13.0
Gentoo Linux: All versions
media-libs/freetype: before 2.13.0
External linkshttp://security.gentoo.org/glsa/202402-06
Q & A
Can this vulnerability be exploited remotely?
Yes. This vulnerability can be exploited by a remote non-authenticated attacker via the Internet.
Is there known malware, which exploits this vulnerability?
No. We are not aware of malware exploiting this vulnerability.
2) Out-of-bounds read
EUVDB-ID: #VU65637
Risk: Medium
CVSSv3.1: 6.5 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]
CVE-ID: CVE-2022-27405
CWE-ID:
CWE-125 - Out-of-bounds read

4) Integer overflow
EUVDB-ID: #VU75888
Risk: High
CVSSv3.1: 7.7 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]
CVE-ID: CVE-2023-2004
CWE-ID:
CWE-190 - Integer overflow
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to integer overflow within the tt_hvadvance_adjust() function in src/truetype/ttgxvar.c. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted data to the application, trigger an integer overflow and execute arbitrary code on the target system.
