CVE-2014-9668 is a vulnerability of currently unknown severity. The woff_open_font function in sfnt/sfobjs.c in FreeType before 2.5.4 proceeds with offset+length calculations without restricting length values, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (integer overflow and heap-based buffer overflow) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted Web Open Font Format (WOFF) file.. EPSS estimates a 1.94% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
