FreeType 2.5.3 SFNT kern parsing out-of-bounds read in "tt_face_load_kern"
Project Member Reported by mjurczyk@google.com, Nov 23 2014 Back to list
The following heap-based out-of-bounds memory read has been encountered in FreeType while fuzzing TrueType fonts. It has been reproduced with the current version of freetype2 from master git branch, with a 64-bit build of the ftbench utility compiled with AddressSanitizer:

$ ftbench <file>

Attached is a POC file which triggers the condition.

All fixed by upstream:

FreeType 2.5.5

2014-12-30
FreeType 2.5.5 has been released. This is a minor bug fix release: All users of PCF fonts should update, since version 2.5.4 introduced a bug that prevented reading of such font files if not compressed.

FreeType 2.5.4

2014-12-06
FreeType 2.5.4 has been released. All users should upgrade due to another fix for vulnerability CVE-2014-2240 in the CFF driver. The library also contains a new round of patches for better protection against malformed fonts.

The main new feature, which is also one of the targets mentioned in the pledgie roadmap below, is auto-hinting support for Devanagari and Telugu, two widely used Indic scripts. A more detailed description of the remaining changes and fixes can be found here.
