CVE-2014-9669
Multiple integer overflows in sfnt/ttcmap.c in FreeType before 2.5.4 allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read or memory corruption) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted cmap SFNT table.
Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (3.85%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
