Integer underflow in Freetype before 2.2 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a font file with an odd number of blue values, which causes the underflow when decrementing by 2 in a context that assumes an even number of values.

Security readout for executives and security teams

A malformed font can crash software that uses FreeType before 2.2. The business impact is availability, not confirmed data theft or system takeover. Risk depends on whether systems still process untrusted fonts with vulnerable FreeType builds. Exposure is most likely in legacy Linux, Unix, appliance, or desktop software stacks that include FreeType before 2.2 or vendor-backported vulnerable packages and parse fonts from users, documents, web content, or email attachments. Treat this as a legacy availability risk. It is not marked actively exploited, but any exposed font-processing service using old FreeType should be remediated because crashes can disrupt user-facing workflows. Mitigation focus: Inventory systems and applications that bundle or dynamically link FreeType.; Upgrade FreeType to 2.2 or later, or install vendor-fixed backported packages.; Prioritize services that parse fonts from untrusted users or documents..
