CVE-2012-1128 [CRITICAL] CVE-2012-1128 freetype: NULL dereference in the SHZ instruction implementation in TTF BCI (#35601)
CVE-2012-1128 freetype: NULL dereference in the SHZ instruction implementation in TTF BCI (#35601)
A NULL pointer dereference flaw as found in the way TrueType bytecode interpreter of the FreeType font rendering engine performed movement of the zone2 pointer point for certain TrueType fonts. A remote attacker could provide a specially-crafted TrueType font file, which once opened in an application linked against FreeType would lead to that application crash.
