FKIE_CVE-2014-9665

Vulnerability from fkie_nvd - Published: 2015-02-08 11:59 - Updated: 2026-06-17 00:18
Severity
Summary
The Load_SBit_Png function in sfnt/pngshim.c in FreeType before 2.5.4 does not restrict the rows and pitch values of PNG data, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (integer overflow and heap-based buffer overflow) or possibly have unspecified other impact by embedding a PNG file in a .ttf font file.
