CVE-2012-1133 freetype: heap buffer underflow in BDF parser _bdf_parse_glyphs() (#35607)

CVE-2012-1133 [HIGH] CVE-2012-1133 freetype: heap buffer underflow in BDF parser _bdf_parse_glyphs() (#35607)
CVE-2012-1133 freetype: heap buffer underflow in BDF parser _bdf_parse_glyphs() (#35607)
An out-of heap-based buffer write flaw was found in the way FreeType font rendering engine performed parsing of glyph information and bitmaps for certain glyph bitmap distribution format (BDF) fonts. A remote attacker could provide a specially-crafted BDF font file, which once opened in an application linked against FreeType would lead to that application crash, or, potentially, arbitrary code execution with the privileges of the user running the application.
