RETIRED: Freetype Font Files Integer Overflow Vulnerability

FreeType is prone to a local integer-overflow vulnerability because it fails to adequately bounds-check user-supplied input.

An attacker can exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code with superuser privileges. Failed exploit attempts will likely cause denial-of-service conditions.

This BID has been retired because it is a duplicate of BID 23283.
