CVE-2012-1138 [CRITICAL] CVE-2012-1138 freetype: heap OOB read in the MIRP instruction implementation in TTF BCI (#35646)
CVE-2012-1138 freetype: heap OOB read in the MIRP instruction implementation in TTF BCI (#35646)
An out-of heap-based buffer read flaw was found in the way TrueType bytecode / opcode interpreter of FreeType font rendering engine executed the 'Move Indirect Relative Point' (MIRP) instruction. A remote attacker could provide a specially-crafted font file, which once opened in an application linked against FreeType would lead to that application crash.
