CVE-2012-5669 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. The _bdf_parse_glyphs function in FreeType before 2.4.11 allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via vectors related to BDF fonts and an incorrect calculation that triggers an out-of-bounds read.. EPSS estimates a 3.86% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
