FreeType before 2.4.9, as used in Mozilla Firefox Mobile before 10.0.4 and other products, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (invalid heap read operation and memory corruption) or possibly execute arbitrary code via crafted property data in a BDF font.

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2012-1126 is an old FreeType font-parsing flaw. A crafted BDF font could crash software or potentially allow code execution in products using vulnerable FreeType versions, including Firefox Mobile before 10.0.4. The main business concern is legacy systems that still process untrusted fonts with FreeType before 2.4.9. Exposure is most likely in legacy endpoints, mobile/browser stacks, Linux distributions, Apple platforms, or applications that bundle old FreeType and parse BDF fonts from untrusted sources. Current exposure cannot be confirmed from the bundle alone. Prioritize this for legacy asset review rather than emergency response. It becomes urgent where unsupported systems still parse untrusted fonts, because the cited impact includes crashes and possible code execution. Mitigation focus: Upgrade FreeType to version 2.4.9 or later where applicable.; Apply vendor updates from Mozilla, Red Hat, Ubuntu, Apple, SUSE, Mandriva, or relevant platform maintainers.; Inventory applications that bundle their own FreeType copy..
