Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE)

Common Attack Pattern Enumeration and Classification (CAPEC)

  • Overread Buffers
    An adversary attacks a target by providing input that causes an application to read beyond the boundary of a defined buffer. This typically occurs when a value influencing where to start or stop reading is set to reflect positions outside of the valid memory location of the buffer. This type of attack may result in exposure of sensitive information, a system crash, or arbitrary code execution.

        FreeType before 2.5.4 does not properly update the
        current position for immediates-only mode, which allows
        remote attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite
        loop) via a Type42 font.(CVE-2014-9747)

      - FreeType before 2.6.1 has a buffer over-read in
