CVE-2014-2241

Publication date 12 March 2014

Last updated 24 July 2024

Ubuntu priority

Medium

Why this priority?

The (1) cf2_initLocalRegionBuffer and (2) cf2_initGlobalRegionBuffer functions in cff/cf2ft.c in FreeType before 2.5.3 do not properly check if a subroutine exists, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (assertion failure), as demonstrated by a crafted ttf file.
