CVE-2008-1808

Publication date 16 June 2008

Last updated 24 July 2024

Ubuntu priority

Medium

Why this priority?

Multiple off-by-one errors in FreeType2 before 2.3.6 allow context-dependent attackers to execute arbitrary code via (1) a crafted table in a Printer Font Binary (PFB) file or (2) a crafted SHC instruction in a TrueType Font (TTF) file, which triggers a heap-based buffer overflow.
