CVE-2014-9672

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions FreeType versions prior to 2.5.4

Description The issue is related to an array index error in the parse fond function, which can be exploited by remote attackers to cause a denial of service or obtain sensitive information from process memory. This can be achieved through a crafted FOND resource in a Mac font file.

Recommendations For versions prior to 2.5.4, update to version 2.5.4 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to Mac font files to minimize the risk of exploitation.
