The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 4 host has one or more packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities that have been acknowledged by the vendor but will not be patched.

  • freetype: multiple integer overflows Mac_Read_POST_Resource() leading to heap-based buffer overflows (CVE-2014-9674)

  • The tt_face_load_hdmx function in truetype/ttpload.c in FreeType before 2.5.4 does not establish a minimum record size, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted TrueType font. (CVE-2014-9657)

  • The _bdf_parse_glyphs function in bdf/bdflib.c in FreeType before 2.5.4 does not properly handle a missing ENDCHAR record, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted BDF font. (CVE-2014-9660)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied on the package manager’s report that the package is installed.
