{"id":"UBUNTU-CVE-2026-95512","details":"A flaw was found in FreeType, specifically within its CID font loader. A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability by tricking a user into opening content that embeds or references a specially crafted CID-keyed font. This crafted font can cause repeated allocations and decryptions of subroutine data across multiple font dictionaries, leading to excessive memory and CPU consumption. This can result in a denial of service (DoS) for the application or service processing the font, potentially causing it to hang or terminate.","modified":"2026-10-02T22:30:34.106750292Z","published":"2026-10-02T00:00:00Z","upstream":["CVE-2026-95512"],"references":[{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://ubuntu.com/security/CVE-2026-95512"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2026-95512"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://access.redhat.com/security/cve/CVE-2026-95512"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2462295"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/freetype/freetype/-/commit/f3ca71c9900fe860849b3163a6e2c1e765b291d9"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"freetype","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:Pro:14.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/freetype?arch=source&distro=esm-infra-legacy%2Ftrusty"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["2.4.12-0ubuntu1","2.5.0.1-0ubuntu2","2.5.1-1ubuntu1","2.5.1-1ubuntu2","2.5.1-2ubuntu1","2.5.2-1ubuntu1","2.5.2-1ubuntu2","2.5.2-1ubuntu2.1","2.5.2-1ubuntu2.2","2.5.2-1ubuntu2.3","2.5.2-1ubuntu2.4","2.5.2-1ubuntu2.5","2.5.2-1ubuntu2.6","2.5.2-1ubuntu2.7","2.5.2-1ubuntu2.8","2.5.2-1ubuntu2.8+esm1","2.5.2-1ubuntu2.8+esm2"],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"binary_version":"2.5.2-1ubuntu2.8+esm2","binary_name":"freetype2-demos"},{"binary_name":"libfreetype6","binary_version":"2.5.2-1ubuntu2.8+esm2"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2026/UBUNTU-CVE-2026-95512.json"}},{"package":{"name":"freetype","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:Pro:16.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/freetype?arch=source&distro=esm-infra%2Fxenial"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["2.5.2-4ubuntu2","2.6.1-0.1ubuntu1","2.6.1-0.1ubuntu2","2.6.1-0.1ubuntu2.1","2.6.1-0.1ubuntu2.2","2.6.1-0.1ubuntu2.3","2.6.1-0.1ubuntu2.4","2.6.1-0.1ubuntu2.5","2.6.1-0.1ubuntu2.5+esm1","2.6.1-0.1ubuntu2.5+esm2"],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"binary_version":"2.6.1-0.1ubuntu2.5+esm2","binary_name":"freetype2-demos"},{"binary_version":"2.6.1-0.1ubuntu2.5+esm2","binary_name":"libfreetype6"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2026/UBUNTU-CVE-2026-95512.json"}},{"package":{"name":"freetype","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:Pro:18.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/freetype?arch=source&distro=esm-infra%2Fbionic"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["2.8-0.2ubuntu2","2.8.1-0.1ubuntu2","2.8.1-0.1ubuntu3","2.8.1-2ubuntu1","2.8.1-2ubuntu2","2.8.1-2ubuntu2.1","2.8.1-2ubuntu2.2","2.8.1-2ubuntu2.2+esm1"],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"binary_version":"2.8.1-2ubuntu2.2+esm1","binary_name":"freetype2-demos"},{"binary_name":"libfreetype6","binary_version":"2.8.1-2ubuntu2.2+esm1"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2026/UBUNTU-CVE-2026-95512.json"}},{"package":{"name":"freetype","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:20.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/freetype?arch=source&distro=focal"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["2.9.1-4","2.10.1-2","2.10.1-2ubuntu0.1","2.10.1-2ubuntu0.2","2.10.1-2ubuntu0.3","2.10.1-2ubuntu0.4"],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"binary_name":"freetype2-demos","binary_version":"2.10.1-2ubuntu0.4"},{"binary_name":"libfreetype6","binary_version":"2.10.1-2ubuntu0.4"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2026/UBUNTU-CVE-2026-95512.json"}},{"package":{"name":"freetype","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:22.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/freetype?arch=source&distro=jammy"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["2.10.4+dfsg-1build1","2.10.4+dfsg-1build2","2.11.0+dfsg-1","2.11.1+dfsg-1","2.11.1+dfsg-1build1","2.11.1+dfsg-1ubuntu0.1","2.11.1+dfsg-1ubuntu0.2","2.11.1+dfsg-1ubuntu0.3"],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"binary_name":"freetype2-demos","binary_version":"2.11.1+dfsg-1ubuntu0.3"},{"binary_name":"libfreetype6","binary_version":"2.11.1+dfsg-1ubuntu0.3"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2026/UBUNTU-CVE-2026-95512.json"}},{"package":{"name":"freetype","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:24.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/freetype?arch=source&distro=noble"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["2.13.1+dfsg-1","2.13.2+dfsg-1","2.13.2+dfsg-1build2","2.13.2+dfsg-1build3","2.13.2+dfsg-1ubuntu0.1"],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"binary_name":"freetype2-demos","binary_version":"2.13.2+dfsg-1ubuntu0.1"},{"binary_version":"2.13.2+dfsg-1ubuntu0.1","binary_name":"libfreetype6"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2026/UBUNTU-CVE-2026-95512.json"}},{"package":{"name":"freetype","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:26.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/freetype?arch=source&distro=resolute"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["2.13.3+dfsg-1build1"
