User-assisted crash via crafted font parsing
Published Sep 22, 2022 · Updated May 27, 2025
Memory corruption in OTFCC commit 617837b allows remote attackers to crash otfccdump after a user processes a crafted font file. The failure reaches the vectorized memmove implementation during font parsing, but public records do not identify the OTFCC parser function or the invalid memory operation that triggers it. Successful exploitation requires user interaction with an attacker-supplied font and interrupts only the affected otfccdump process.
