Description Tim Sammut (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2010-11-17 05:39:10 UTC 
It looks like there is another publicly disclosed vulnerability in upstream's version 2.4.3. From a Mandriva security alert:

" An error within the "Ins_SHZ()" function in src/truetype/ttinterp.c
 when handling the "SHZ" bytecode instruction can be exploited to
 cause a crash and potentially execute arbitrary code via a specially
 crafted font (CVE-2010-3814)."

CVE-2010-3814 (http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2010-3814):
  Heap-based buffer overflow in the Ins_SHZ function in ttinterp.c in FreeType
  2.4.3 and earlier allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause
  a denial of service (application crash) via a crafted SHZ bytecode
  instruction, related to TrueType opcodes, as demonstrated by a PDF document
  with a crafted embedded font.
