freetype is vulnerable to denial of service. This is due to an out-of-bounds read when the rendering engine processes certain Glyph Bitmap Distribution Format (BDF) fonts. An attacker is able to crash a user’s application, or potentially execute arbitrary code, via a malicious font file that is loaded into the victim’s application.
