Mandriva Linux Security Advisory MDVSA-2008:121-1
http://www.mandriva.com/security/
__________________________________________________ _____________________

Package : freetype2
Date : October 31, 2008
Affected: Corporate 3.0, Corporate 4.0, Multi Network Firewall 2.0 __________________________________________________ _____________________

Problem Description:

Multiple vulnerabilities were discovered in FreeType's Printer Font Binary (PFB) font-file format parser. If a user were to load a carefully crafted font file with a program linked against FreeType, it could cause the application to crash or potentially execute arbitrary code (CVE-2008-1806, CVE-2008-1807, CVE-2008-1808).

The updated packages have been patched to prevent this issue.

Update:

The patches used to correct the problem on Corporate Server 4.0 and Corporate 3.0 contained a problem where certain fonts would not be displayed and would cause applications, such as drakfont, to crash.
This update corrects the regression.
