An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2017-8287 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Freetype Freetype. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-8287/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-8287/index.md)","id":"CVE-2017-8287","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-8287/index.md","name":"CVE-2017-8287","record":{"aliases":["ALPINE-CVE-2017-8287","DEBIAN-CVE-2017-8287","DLA-931-1","GHSA-8m73-wffv-p6q9","UBUNTU-CVE-2017-8287"],"analysis":{"component_type":"library","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution","denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"FreeType font library","requires_auth":"none","summary":"A heap-based buffer overflow in FreeType allows attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause denial of service via crafted font files.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"memory_corruption"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"freetype","vendor":"freetype"}],"cvss":{"score":9.8,"severity":"critical","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-119","name":"Improper Restriction of Operations within the Bounds of a Memory Buffer"}],"description":"FreeType 2 before 2017-03-26 has an out-of-bounds write caused by a heap-based buffer overflow related to the t1_builder_close_contour function in psaux/psobjs.c.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2017-8287","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":"freetype:freetype","products":["freetype:freetype"],"type":"memory_corruption","year":"2017"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":7,"next":{"headline":"Security feature bypass in n/a","id":"CVE-2017-8288"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Code injection in n/a","id":"CVE-2017-8284"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2017-04-27","related":[{"cvss_score":10,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2012-1126","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2012-04-25"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2015-9290","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-07-30"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2016-10328","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-04-14"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2017-7857","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-04-14"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2017-7858","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-04-14"},{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2017-7864","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2017-04-14"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-05","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"A heap-based buffer overflow in FreeType allows attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause denial of service via crafted font files.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-8287/"}
