CVE-2012-1131 [CRITICAL] CVE-2012-1131 freetype: incorrect type cast allowing input sanity check bypass in ft_smooth_render_generic() (#35604)
CVE-2012-1131 freetype: incorrect type cast allowing input sanity check bypass in ft_smooth_render_generic() (#35604)
An out-of heap-based buffer read flaw was found in the way the anti-aliasing renderer of the FreeType font rendering engine processed certain TrueType fonts. A remote attacker could provide a specially-crafted TrueType font file, which once opened in an application linked against FreeType would lead to that application crash.
