Description Funda Wang 2011-11-15 14:37:17 CET
Some vulnerabilities in handling CID-keyed PostScript fonts have been found in freetype2 (CVE-2011-3439).

The updated packages have been patched to fix this issue.
Comment 1 Funda Wang 2011-11-15 14:38:24 CET
@qateam,

please see that freetype2 existing in both core and tainted.
Comment 2 Dave Hodgins 2011-11-19 22:00:35 CET
Testing on i586 complete for the srpm packages
freetype2-2.4.4-5.4.mga1.src.rpm
freetype2-2.4.4-5.4.mga1.tainted.src.rpm

No poc for the vulnerability, so just testing that the packages work.

For testing, I disabled the Tainted updates testing reposiory, and ran
rpm -e --nodeps freetype2-demos libfreetype6 libfreetype6-devel
urpmi freetype2-demos libfreetype6 libfreetype6-devel

which installed the Core Updates Testing packages.  I then confirmed
xpdf could view pdf files.

Enabled the Tainted Updates Testing repository and used
urpmi --auto-select to install the tainted versions of the
packages, and repeated the testing with xpdf.

Validated OK on x86_64

Could someone from sysadmin please push freetype2-2.4.4-5.4.mga1.src.rpm from Core_Updates_Testing to Core_Updates, and push freetype2-2.4.4-5.4.mga1.tainted.src.rpm from Tainted_Updates_testing into Tainted_Updates.
