CVE-2014-9675

Publication date 8 February 2015

Last updated 24 July 2024

Ubuntu priority

Medium

Why this priority?

bdf/bdflib.c in FreeType before 2.5.4 identifies property names by only verifying that an initial substring is present, which allows remote attackers to discover heap pointer values and bypass the ASLR protection mechanism via a crafted BDF font.
