CVE-2006-3467
Integer overflow in FreeType before 2.2 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted PCF file, as demonstrated by the Red Hat bad1.pcf test file, due to a partial fix of CVE-2006-1861.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (4.35%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
