sfnt/ttload.c in FreeType before 2.5.4 proceeds with offset+length calculations without restricting the values, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (integer overflow and out-of-bounds read) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted SFNT table.

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2014-9667 affects FreeType before 2.5.4, a font-rendering library embedded across operating systems and applications. A specially crafted SFNT font table can trigger an integer overflow and out-of-bounds read, causing denial of service and possibly other unspecified impact. Exposure is most likely where FreeType before 2.5.4 or vendor-backported vulnerable packages process untrusted fonts, documents, images, or web content. Bundled copies inside applications may remain exposed even if the system package is updated. Treat this as a patch-management issue with moderate urgency. It is not listed as actively exploited in the provided data, but FreeType is widely embedded and can be reached through routine content rendering paths. Mitigation focus: Update FreeType to 2.5.4 or vendor-fixed packages from trusted advisories.; Patch Linux distributions using the relevant Debian, Ubuntu, Red Hat, Gentoo, Fedora, or SUSE guidance.; Inventory applications that bundle their own FreeType library copies..
