How to fix?

Upgrade Centos:6 freetype-demos to version 0:2.3.11-15.el6_6.1 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream freetype-demos package and not the freetype-demos package as distributed by Centos. See How to fix? for Centos:6 relevant fixed versions and status.

sfnt/ttload.c in FreeType before 2.5.4 proceeds with offset+length calculations without restricting the values, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (integer overflow and out-of-bounds read) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted SFNT table.
