Descriptions

cff/cf2ft.c in FreeType before 2.5.4 does not validate the return values of point-allocation functions, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (heap-based buffer overflow) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted OTF font.

cff/cf2ft.c en FreeType anterior a 2.5.4 no valida los valores de retorno de las funciones de la reserva de puntos, lo que permite a atacantes remotos causar una denegación de servicio (desbordamiento de buffer basado en memoria dinámica) o posiblemente tener otro impacto no especificado a través de una fuente OTF manipulada.
