CVE-2022-35038Network attack vector

Process crash via heap buffer overflow

Published Sep 22, 2022 · Updated May 27, 2025

Heap buffer overflow in OTFCC otfccdump commit 617837b allows attackers to crash the utility by processing a crafted OpenType font file. The public record identifies only an instrumented binary offset and does not disclose the parser function or unchecked write that crosses the heap allocation. Reaching the fault requires a user to run otfccdump on attacker-controlled font data; the documented consequence is a process crash, with no reported data disclosure or code execution.
