CWE-189  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:11 freetype to version 2.2.1-1 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream freetype package and not the freetype package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:11 relevant fixed versions and status.

Integer underflow in Freetype before 2.2 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a font file with an odd number of blue values, which causes the underflow when decrementing by 2 in a context that assumes an even number of values.
