CVE-2016-1238 (2016-08-02)

Imager would search the default current directory entry in @INC when searching for file format support modules.

CPANSA-Imager-2014-01 (2014-01-03)

When drawing on an image with an alpha channel where the source minimum is greater than zero, Imager would read from beyond the end of a malloc() allocated buffer. In rare circumstances this could lead to some of the source image not being written to the target image, or possibly to a segmentation fault.

CVE-2007-2459 (2007-05-02)

Heap-based buffer overflow in the BMP reader (bmp.c) in Imager perl module (libimager-perl) 0.45 through 0.56 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via crafted 8-bit/pixel compressed BMP files.

CVE-2006-0053 (2006-04-10)

Imager (libimager-perl) before 0.50 allows user-assisted attackers to cause a denial of service (segmentation fault) by writing a 2- or 4-channel JPEG image (or a 2-channel TGA image) to a scalar, which triggers a NULL pointer dereference.

CVE-2024-53901 (2024-11-17)

"invalid next size" backtrace on use of trim on certain images

NAME

Imager::Font::FreeType2 - low-level functions for FreeType2 text output

DESCRIPTION

Imager::Font creates a Imager::Font::FreeType2 object when asked to.

See Imager::Font to see how to use this type.

This class provides low-level functions that require the caller to perform data validation.

This driver supports:

transform()
dpi()
draw()

The following parameters:

utf8
vlayour
sizew

Special behaviors

If you call transform() to set a transformation matrix, hinting will be switched off. This prevents sudden jumps in the size of the text caused by the hinting when the transformation is the identity matrix. If for some reason you want hinting enabled, use $font->hinting(hinting=>1) to re-enable hinting. This will need to be called after each call to transform().
