CVE-2010-3814

Publication date 22 October 2010

Last updated 24 July 2024

Ubuntu priority

Medium

Why this priority?

Heap-based buffer overflow in the Ins_SHZ function in ttinterp.c in FreeType 2.4.3 and earlier allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service (application crash) via a crafted SHZ bytecode instruction, related to TrueType opcodes, as demonstrated by a PDF document with a crafted embedded font.
