CVE-2012-1137 freetype: heap buffer off-by-one in BDF parsing _bdf_list_ensure() (#35643)

CVE-2012-1137 [CRITICAL] CVE-2012-1137 freetype: heap buffer off-by-one in BDF parsing _bdf_list_ensure() (#35643)
CVE-2012-1137 freetype: heap buffer off-by-one in BDF parsing _bdf_list_ensure() (#35643)
An out-of heap-based buffer read flaw was found in the way FreeType font rendering engine performed loading and parsing of file header information for glyph bitmap distribution format (BDF) font files. A remote attacker could provide a BDF font file with specially-crafted BDF header, which once processed in an application linked against FreeType would lead to that application crash.
