CentOS Errata and Security Advisory CESA-2007:0403-01

FreeType is a free, high-quality, portable font engine.

An integer overflow flaw was found in the way the FreeType font engine
processed TTF font files. If a user loaded a carefully crafted font file
with a program linked against FreeType, it could cause the application to
crash or execute arbitrary code. While it is uncommon for a user to
explicitly load a font file, there are several application file formats
which contain embedded fonts that are parsed by FreeType. (CVE-2007-2754)

Users of FreeType should upgrade to these updated packages, which contain
a backported patch to correct this issue.

Merged security bulletin from advisories:
https://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos-announce/2007-June/076063.html

Affected packages:
freetype
freetype-devel
freetype-utils
