CVE-2026-49919

A flaw was found in FreeType. An attacker could cause an application crash leading to a Denial of Service (DoS) by tricking a user or application into rendering a specially crafted color font. This issue occurs due to an integer overflow during bitmap dimension calculations when blending color font layers, resulting in an undersized memory allocation. FreeType subsequently performs an out-of-bounds write to heap memory, corrupting process memory.
