Last modified

CVE-2014-2241 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. The (1) cf2_initLocalRegionBuffer and (2) cf2_initGlobalRegionBuffer functions in cff/cf2ft.c in FreeType before 2.5.3 do not properly check if a subroutine exists, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (assertion failure), as demonstrated by a crafted ttf file.. EPSS estimates a 1.57% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
