The Mac_Read_POST_Resource function in base/ftobjs.c in FreeType before 2.5.4 proceeds with adding to length values without validating the original values, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (integer overflow and heap-based buffer overflow) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted Mac font.

CVE-2014-9656 FreeType vulnerabilities
Title: FreeType vulnerabilities
Summary: FreeType could be made to crash or run programs as your login if it opened
a specially crafted file.
Mateusz Jurczyk discovered that FreeType did not correctly handle certain
malformed font files. If a user were tricked into using a specially crafted
font file, a remote attacker could cause FreeType to crash or possibly
execute arbitrary code with user privileges.
Instructions: After a standard system update you need to restart your session to make
all the necessary changes.

CVE-2014-9674 [HIGH] CWE-190 freetype: multiple integer overflows Mac_Read_POST_Resource() leading to heap-based buffer overflows
freetype: multiple integer overflows Mac_Read_POST_Resource() leading to heap-based buffer overflows
The Mac_Read_POST_Resource function in base/ftobjs.c in FreeType before 2.5.4 proceeds with adding to length values without validating the original values, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (integer overflow and heap-based buffer overflow) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted Mac font.
Multiple integer overflow flaws, leading to heap-based buffer overflows, were found in the way FreeType handled Mac fonts. If a specially crafted font file was loaded by an application linked against FreeType, it could cause the application to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the application.
