CVE-2016-2796
HighSummary
A heap-based buffer overflow exists in Graphite 2 before version 1.3.6, used in Mozilla Firefox before version 45.0 and Firefox ESR 38.x before version 38.7, in the function graphite2::vm::Machine::Code::Code. This allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted Graphite smart font.
Risk Assessment
Organizations may be exposed to attacks that lead to denial of service, affecting service availability and system security. Potential unspecified impacts may also lead to further threats.
Recommendation
It is recommended to update Graphite to version 1.3.6 or later and to update Mozilla Firefox to version 45.0 or later to mitigate the risks associated with this vulnerability.
