GHSA-39qr-hvc6-f2x3 PUBLISHED CVSS 8.699999809265137 HIGH

Record from GitHub Advisory Database · Published May 17, 2022

The (1) cf2_initLocalRegionBuffer and (2) cf2_initGlobalRegionBuffer functions in cff/cf2ft.c in FreeType before 2.5.3 do not properly check if a subroutine exists, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (assertion failure), as demonstrated by a crafted ttf file.
