Summary
Package updates are available for Amazon Linux 2 that fix the following vulnerabilities: CVE-2025-27363: An out of bounds write exists in FreeType versions 2.13.0 and below when attempting to parse font subglyph structures related to TrueType GX and variable font files. The vulnerable code assigns a signed short value to an unsigned long and then adds a static value causing it to wrap around and allocate too small of a heap buffer. The code then writes up to 6 signed long integers out of bounds relative to this buffer. This may result in arbitrary code execution. This vulnerability may have been exploited in the wild. CVE-2025-23022: FreeType 2.8.1 has a signed integer overflow in cf2_doFlex in cff/cf2intrp.c.
