The graphite2::Slot::getAttr function in Slot.cpp in Graphite 2 before 1.3.6, as used in Mozilla Firefox before 45.0 and Firefox ESR 38.x before 38.7, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (buffer over-read) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted Graphite smart font, a different vulnerability than CVE-2016-2792.

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2016-2800 is a flaw in the Graphite 2 font-shaping library used by older Firefox releases. A malicious Graphite smart font could make affected software read past a memory buffer, causing a crash or possibly other unspecified impact. It is mainly a legacy exposure issue today. Exposure is likely limited to legacy systems running Graphite 2 before 1.3.6, Firefox before 45.0, or Firefox ESR 38.x before 38.7. Risk is higher where untrusted web content can cause font rendering in affected software. Treat this as a moderate legacy patching concern. Prioritize systems that still process untrusted web content or documents with old Firefox or Graphite 2 packages, but do not rank it as an emergency without evidence of active exploitation. Mitigation focus: Upgrade Graphite 2 to version 1.3.6 or later.; Upgrade Firefox to 45.0 or later, where applicable.; Upgrade Firefox ESR 38.x to 38.7 or later, where applicable..
