Two heap-based buffer overflow flaws were found in the way t1lib processed
Adobe Font Metrics (AFM) files. If a specially-crafted font file was opened
by an application linked against t1lib, it could cause the application to
crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the
user running the application. (CVE-2010-2642, CVE-2011-0433)
An invalid pointer dereference flaw was found in t1lib. A specially-crafted
font file could, when opened, cause an application linked against t1lib to
crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the
user running the application. (CVE-2011-0764)
A use-after-free flaw was found in t1lib. A specially-crafted font file

potentially, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user
running the application. (CVE-2011-1553)
An off-by-one flaw was found in t1lib. A specially-crafted font file could,
when opened, cause an application linked against t1lib to crash or,
potentially, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running
the application. (CVE-2011-1554)
An out-of-bounds memory read flaw was found in t1lib. A specially-crafted
