Description Adam Mariš 2016-02-09 04:57:36 EST

An exploitable out-of-bound read vulnerability was found in the opcode handling functionality of Libgraphite. A specially crafted font can cause an out-of-bounds read resulting in arbitrary code execution. An attacker can provide a malicious font to trigger this vulnerability.
