Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions FreeType versions prior to 2.5.4

Description The issue is related to the woff open font function in sfnt/sfobjs.c, which does not properly restrict length values, leading to potential integer overflow and heap-based buffer overflow issues when processing crafted Web Open Font Format (WOFF) files. This could allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service or possibly have other unspecified impacts.

Recommendations For versions prior to 2.5.4, update to version 2.5.4 or later to resolve the issue.
