  <description>
    <p>
    Multiple integer overflows exist in a variety of files (bdf/bdflib.c,
    sfnt/ttcmap.c, cff/cffgload.c, base/ftmac.c).
    </p>
  </description>
  <impact type="normal">
    <p>
    A remote attacker could exploit these buffer overflows by enticing a
    user to load a specially crafted font, which could result in the
    execution of arbitrary code.
    </p>
  </impact>
  <workaround>
    <p>
    There is no known workaround at this time.
    </p>
  </workaround>
  <resolution>
    <p>
    All FreeType users should upgrade to the latest stable version:
    </p>
    <code>
    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=media-libs/freetype-2.1.10-r2"</code>
  </resolution>
