How to fix?

There is no fixed version for RHEL:10 mingw-virt-viewer.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream mingw-virt-viewer package and not the mingw-virt-viewer package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:10 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.
