Tobias Stoeckmann discovered that cache
files are insufficiently validated in fontconfig, a generic font configuration library. An
attacker can trigger arbitrary free() calls, which in turn allows double
free attacks and therefore arbitrary code execution. In combination with
setuid binaries using crafted cache files, this could allow privilege
escalation.
