Process crash via crafted OpenType font
Published Sep 22, 2022 · Updated May 27, 2025
Heap buffer overflow in OTFCC otfccdump commit 617837b allows remote attackers to crash the utility with a crafted OpenType font file. The public record identifies the fault only at executable offset 0x6e1fc8; neither the affected parsing routine nor the out-of-bounds write operation is disclosed. Exploitation requires a user to process the malicious font, and the documented consequence is interruption of the otfccdump process rather than data disclosure or modification.
