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:unstable relevant fixed versions and status.

FreeType before 2.4.9, as used in Mozilla Firefox Mobile before 10.0.4 and other products, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and memory corruption) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted TrueType font.
