A patch is available and should be applied. Fixed versions include OpenJDK packages updated to 8u492-ga~us2-0ubuntu1~16.04.1 and later, as well as Freetype 2.14.2. Users should update to these fixed versions as per the vendor advisories linked in the references.
Description
An integer overflow vulnerability exists in the tt_var_load_item_variation_store function of the Freetype library versions 2.13.2 and 2.13.3. This flaw may lead to an out-of-bounds read when parsing HVAR, VVAR, or MVAR tables in OpenType variable fonts. The issue affects certain OpenJDK 8 versions and related Ubuntu packages and has been fixed in Freetype version 2.14.2.
