Whiteboard: (none) => MGA5TOO
Version: 5 => Cauldron

Comment 5 David Walser 2017-06-24 19:08:58 CEST
It appears that Debian updated Jessie to graphite2 1.3.10 to fix the latest set of issues.  As we have that version in Cauldron already, I'll say that Cauldron isn't affected by these issues.

Whiteboard: MGA5TOO => (none)
Version: Cauldron => 5

Comment 6 David Walser 2017-07-09 01:38:57 CEST
Updated package uploaded for Mageia 5.

Advisory:
========================

Updated graphite2 packages fix security vulnerabilities:

An out-of-bounds write triggered with a maliciously crafted Graphite font could
lead to a crash or potentially code execution (CVE-2017-5436).

Multiple vulnerabilities have been found in the Graphite font rendering engine
which might result in denial of service or the execution of arbitrary code if a
malformed font file is processed (CVE-2017-7771, CVE-2017-7772, CVE-2017-7773,
CVE-2017-7774, CVE-2017-7775, CVE-2017-7776, CVE-2017-7777, CVE-2017-7778).

No useful information on the CVE links.  SuSE admits that it could not find a testcase for CVE-2017-5436.

Checked the graphite font-demo page.  The Padauk samples tallied but the Awami Nastaliq samples differed a bit in general appearance and details.
Downloaded some graphite TTF files.
drakfont to install the Graphite versions of Linux Libertine and Linux Biolinum fonts and tried them out in LibreOffice.  

The update packages installed smoothly.

Reloaded firefox and used about:config to check graphite because the version number was in the range where graphite might not have been enabled - but it was.
gfx.font_rendering.graphite.enabled   default  boolean  true

Visited the graphite font-demo page.  Nothing had changed.
Opened a document in LibreOffice and changed the font to Linux Libertine G, Linux Libertine Display G and then Linux Biolinum G.  All three look good.

Passing this for 64-bits.

Comment 8 Lewis Smith 2017-07-25 09:20:46 CEST
Advisory uploaded. Validating with just the 64-bit OK because Len's test was very thorough, and we have too many updates in hand.
