Array index error in the parse_fond function in base/ftmac.c in FreeType before 2.5.4 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read) or obtain sensitive information from process memory via a crafted FOND resource in a Mac font file.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This flaw affects FreeType before 2.5.4 when it parses a crafted Mac font FOND resource. An attacker could trigger a crash or potentially read process memory through software that processes untrusted font files. The source bundle does not show active exploitation or a CVSS score. Exposure is most likely where FreeType before 2.5.4 is present and applications process untrusted Mac font files or embedded fonts. Linux distribution advisories and Oracle references show this reached packaged software ecosystems, but the bundle does not identify every affected product. Prioritize remediation on systems that process external documents, uploaded fonts, or untrusted rich content. The business risk is service disruption and possible memory disclosure, with no source-supported evidence of active exploitation in the bundle. Mitigation focus: Upgrade FreeType to 2.5.4 or a vendor-fixed package.; Apply relevant OS vendor security updates for affected FreeType packages.; Limit processing of untrusted font files where upgrades are delayed..
