CVE-2014-9665 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. The Load_SBit_Png function in sfnt/pngshim.c in FreeType before 2.5.4 does not restrict the rows and pitch values of PNG data, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (integer overflow and heap-based buffer overflow) or possibly have unspecified other impact by embedding a PNG file in a .ttf font file.. EPSS estimates a 4.89% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
