CVE-2016-10244 (opens in a new tab)How to fix?
Upgrade Debian:11 freetype to version 2.6.3-3.1 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.
The parse_charstrings function in type1/t1load.c in FreeType 2 before 2.7 does not ensure that a font contains a glyph name, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (heap-based buffer over-read) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted file.
