Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.68189
Category:Ubuntu Local Security Checks
Title:Ubuntu USN-963-1 (freetype)
Summary:NOSUMMARY
Description:Description:
The remote host is missing an update to freetype
announced via advisory USN-963-1.

Details follow:

Robert Święcki discovered that FreeType did not correctly handle certain
malformed font files. If a user were tricked into using a specially crafted
font file, a remote attacker could execute arbitrary code with user
privileges.

Solution:
The problem can be corrected by upgrading your system to the
following package versions:

Ubuntu 6.06 LTS:
libfreetype6 2.1.10-1ubuntu2.7

Ubuntu 8.04 LTS:
libfreetype6 2.3.5-1ubuntu4.8.04.3

Ubuntu 9.04:
libfreetype6 2.3.9-4ubuntu0.2

Ubuntu 9.10:
libfreetype6 2.3.9-5ubuntu0.1

Ubuntu 10.04 LTS:
libfreetype6 2.3.11-1ubuntu2.1

After a standard system update you need to restart your session to make
all the necessary changes.
