Last modified
CVE-2008-1807 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. FreeType2 before 2.3.6 allow context-dependent attackers to execute arbitrary code via an invalid "number of axes" field in a Printer Font Binary (PFB) file, which triggers a free of arbitrary memory locations, leading to memory corruption.. EPSS estimates a 3.58% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
