FreeType Bitmap Font Handling Remote Buffer Overflow Vulnerability

FreeType is prone to a remote buffer-overflow vulnerability because the application fails to bounds-check user-supplied data before copying it into an insufficiently sized buffer.

Attackers can exploit this issue to deny access to legitimate users. Given the nature of this vulnerability, arbitrary code execution may also be possible but has not been confirmed.

Versions prior to FreeType 2.3.4 are vulnerable.
