FreeType 2.5.3 BDF parsing NULL pointer dereference in "_bdf_parse_glyphs" #188

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
The following NULL pointer dereference crash has been encountered in FreeType 
while fuzzing BDF 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 are two POC files which trigger 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.
