What is CVE-2014-9663?

A flaw in the tt_cmap4_validate function of FreeType prior to version 2.5.4 can lead to a denial of service. The vulnerability arises from improper validation of a length field, allowing remote attackers to trigger an out-of-bounds read through specially crafted cmap SFNT tables, potentially leading to unexpected behavior or crashes in applications that rely on FreeType.
