Title:	Slackware: Security Advisory (SSA:2025-074-01)
Summary:	The remote host is missing an update for the 'freetype' package(s) announced via the SSA:2025-074-01 advisory.
Description:	Summary: The remote host is missing an update for the 'freetype' package(s) announced via the SSA:2025-074-01 advisory. Vulnerability Insight: New freetype packages are available for Slackware 15.0 to fix a security issue. Here are the details from the Slackware 15.0 ChangeLog: patches/packages/freetype-2.13.3-i586-1_slack15.0.txz: Upgraded. This update fixes bugs and a security issue: An out of bounds write exists in FreeType versions 2.13.0 and below (newer versions of FreeType are not vulnerable) when attempting to parse font subglyph structures related to TrueType GX and variable font files. The vulnerable code assigns a signed short value to an unsigned long and then adds a static value causing it to wrap around and allocate too small of a heap buffer. The code then writes up to 6 signed long integers out of bounds relative to this buffer. This may result in arbitrary code execution. This vulnerability may have been exploited in the wild. For more information, see: [link moved to references] (* Security fix *) +--------------------------+ Affected Software/OS: 'freetype' package(s) on Slackware 15.0. Solution: Please install the updated package(s). CVSS Score: 5.0 CVSS Vector: AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:N/A:N
