FreeType Compact Font Format (CFF) Multiple Stack Based Buffer Overflow Vulnerabilities
Publish date: July 21, 2015
Severity: CRITICAL
Advisory Date: JUL 21, 2015
DESCRIPTION
Multiple stack-based buffer overflows in the cff_decoder_parse_charstrings function in the CFF Type2 CharStrings interpreter in cff/cffgload.c in FreeType before 2.4.2, as used in Apple iOS before 4.0.2 on the iPhone and iPod touch and before 3.2.2 on the iPad, allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (memory corruption) via crafted CFF opcodes in embedded fonts in a PDF document, as demonstrated by JailbreakMe. NOTE: some of these details are obtained from third party information.
