| Description: | Due to an integer overflow when parsing CharCodes for fonts and a failure to check the return value of a memory allocation, it is possible to trigger writes to a narrow range of offsets from a NULL pointer. The chance of being able to exploit this for anything other than a crash is very remote: on x86 32-bit, there's no chance (since the write occurs between 0xffffffc4 and 0xfffffffc). At least the write lands in valid userspace on x86-64, but in my testing this memory is never mapped.
