Description
HarfBuzz from 8.0.0 through 14.6.0 contains a NULL pointer dereference vulnerability in the experimental WebAssembly shaper host imports buffer_set_contents, face_create, and font_set_coords. Attackers can supply a crafted font whose embedded wasm module passes out-of-range addresses with non-zero lengths, crashing any application that shapes text with the font.
A NULL pointer dereference vulnerability has been identified in HarfBuzz versions 8.0.0 prior to 14.6.0. This vulnerability exists within the experimental WebAssembly shaper host imports: buffer_set_contents, face_create, and font_set_coords.
