A vulnerability has been discovered and corrected in freetype2, allowing remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (memory corruption) via a crafted font. A regression was found in freetype2 in Mandriva Enterprise Server 5 that caused ugly font rendering with firefox. Improvements concerning the LZW handling were added in the freetype-2.4.7 version. The updated packages have been patched to correct these issues. Please Install the Updated Packages
