CVSS 3.0
6.5 mediumCVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:HCVE-2016-1523
The SillMap::readFace function in FeatureMap.cpp in Libgraphite in Graphite 2 1.2.4, as used in Mozilla Firefox before 43.0 and Firefox ESR 38.x before 38.6.1, mishandles a return value, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (missing initialization, NULL pointer dereference, and application crash) via a crafted Graphite smart font.
