CVE-2014-2241 Information

Description

The (1) cf2_initLocalRegionBuffer and (2) cf2_initGlobalRegionBuffer functions in cff/cf2ft.c in FreeType before 2.5.3 do not properly check if a subroutine exists which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (assertion failure) as demonstrated by a crafted ttf file.
