How to fix?

Upgrade Centos:6 freetype-devel 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-devel package and not the freetype-devel package as distributed by Centos. See How to fix? for Centos:6 relevant fixed versions and status.

The Mac_Read_POST_Resource function in base/ftobjs.c in FreeType before 2.5.4 proceeds with adding to length values without validating the original values, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (integer overflow and heap-based buffer overflow) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted Mac font.
