CVE-2014-2240

Publication date 12 March 2014

Last updated 24 July 2024

Ubuntu priority

Medium

Why this priority?

Stack-based buffer overflow in the cf2_hintmap_build function in cff/cf2hints.c in FreeType before 2.5.3 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a large number of stem hints in a font file.
