Amazon Linux 2023 Security Advisory: ALAS-2023-074
Advisory Release Date: 2023-02-17 20:46 Pacific
Advisory Updated Date: 2023-02-22 23:31 Pacific
Severity: Important

Issue Overview:

A heap buffer overflow leading to out-of-bounds write was found in freetype. Memory allocation based on truncated PNG width and height values allows for an out-of-bounds write to occur in application memory when an attacker supplies a specially crafted TTF file. (CVE-2020-15999)

A heap buffer overflow flaw was found in Freetype's sfnt_init_face() function in the sfobjs.c file. The vulnerability occurs when creating a face with a strange file and invalid index. This flaw allows an attacker to read and modify a small amount of memory, causing the application to crash. (CVE-2022-27404)

A segmentation fault was found in the FreeType library. This flaw allows an attacker to attempt access to a memory location in a way that could cause an application to halt or crash, leading to a denial of service. (CVE-2022-27405)

A segmentation fault was found in FreeType's FT_Request_Size() function in the ftobjs.c file. This flaw allows an attacker to access a memory location in a way that could cause an application to halt or crash, leading to a denial of service. (CVE-2022-27406)
