CVE-2020-25690

An out-of-bounds write flaw was found in FontForge while parsing SFD files containing certain LayerCount tokens. This flaw allows an attacker to manipulate the memory allocated on the heap, causing the application to crash or execute arbitrary code. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to confidentiality, integrity, as well as system availability.

The impact of this flaw is set to Moderate since upstream does not consider a network-facing application that accepts untrusted font files as a reasonable use of fontforge tool/library, making the impact of a possible exploitation of this flaw smaller.
