libXfont2: BitmapScaleBitmaps Integer Overflow Heap Buffer Overflow

A flaw was found in libXfont2. In the BitmapScaleBitmaps function, an integer overflow can occur when calculating the memory needed for font glyphs. This overflow leads to a heap buffer overflow, where a smaller-than-required memory buffer is allocated. A local attacker can exploit this by loadin...

libXfont2: libXfont2: arbitrary code execution via heap buffer overflow in ComputeScaledProperties

A flaw was found in libXfont2. This vulnerability allows an attacker to achieve arbitrary code execution or cause a Denial of Service DoS by providing a specially crafted Portable Compiled Format PCF font file. Due to missing bounds checks when processing font properties in the...

libXfont2: PCF Font Parsing Heap Buffer Overflow

A flaw was found in libXfont2. A specially crafted PCF Portable Compiled Format font file, when processed by libXfont2, can lead to a buffer overflow. This occurs because the font parsing process does not properly validate the size of a bitmap buffer against the glyph metrics provided in the...

xorg: X11: xserver: X.org: glamor Font Atlas Heap Buffer Overflow

A flaw was found in the glamorfontget function of the xorg-x11-server. This vulnerability, a heap buffer overflow, occurs when the server processes a specially crafted PCF font file where individual glyph metrics exceed the declared maximum bounds. An authenticated X client can exploit this by...

libXfont2: PCF Font Parsing Heap Buffer Overflow

A flaw was found in libXfont2. A specially crafted PCF Portable Compiled Format font file, when processed by libXfont2, can lead to a buffer overflow. This occurs because the font parsing process does not properly validate the size of a bitmap buffer against the glyph metrics provided in the...

libXfont2: libXfont2: arbitrary code execution via heap buffer overflow in ComputeScaledProperties

A flaw was found in libXfont2. This vulnerability allows an attacker to achieve arbitrary code execution or cause a Denial of Service DoS by providing a specially crafted Portable Compiled Format PCF font file. Due to missing bounds checks when processing font properties in the...

CVE-2026-56003

A heap buffer overflow due to missing size checking in the property buffer when parsing PCF files in libXfont2 ComputeScaledProperties before libXfont2 before 2.0.8 could be used by attackers using authenticated X clients to execute code within the X server...

PYSEC-2026-2253

Pillow is a Python imaging library. Prior to 12.3.0, PIL/PcfFontFile.py loadbitmaps read glyph dimensions from the PCF METRICS section and passed them directly to Image.frombytes without calling Image.decompressionbombcheck, allowing crafted PCF font data to cause excessive memory allocation. Thi...

freetype: heap buffer over-read in PCF parser pcf_get_properties() (#35603)

FreeType before 2.4.9, as used in Mozilla Firefox Mobile before 10.0.4 and other products, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service invalid heap read operation and memory corruption or possibly execute arbitrary code via crafted property data in a PCF font...
