DescriptionCVE.org

An out-of-bounds read in the stbtt_GetGlyphShape component of nothings stb commit 31c1ad3 allows attackers to cause a Denial of Service (DoS) via sending a crafted TTF file.

AnalysisAI

Out-of-bounds read in stb_truetype's stbtt_GetGlyphShape function enables denial of service against any application that parses attacker-supplied TrueType font files using the nothings/stb library at commit 31c1ad3. The affected function reads glyph outline data from a crafted TTF without sufficient bounds validation, causing an abnormal read that crashes the host application. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation The target application must (1) be built with stb_truetype at or before commit 31c1ad3, and (2) invoke stbtt_GetGlyphShape on attacker-controlled TrueType font data - meaning the application must accept TTF files from untrusted sources (user uploads, downloaded files, embedded assets, etc.). … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment CVSS 4.3 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:L) accurately reflects a low-to-medium priority issue. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in.
Remediation Consumers of the nothings/stb library should update their vendored copy of stb_truetype.h to a commit that addresses this issue - check the GitHub repository at https://github.com/nothings/stb for commits or pull requests referencing issue #1962 or stbtt_GetGlyphShape bounds validation. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.
