Apple TV 4.1 Update Addresses FreeType and PNG Vulnerabilities

Multiple vulnerabilities exist in FreeType, the most serious of which may lead to arbitrary code execution when processing a maliciously crafted font. These issues are addressed by updating FreeType to version 2.4.2.

With a support document posted a few hours ago, Apple confirmed that the latest 4.1 update for the 2nd gen Apple TV also includes fixes for vulnerabilities found in FreeType and the libpng library. Both of them could have lead to arbitrary code execution, much like this summer’s JailbreakMe security hole.
