Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions Graphite 2 versions prior to 1.3.6 Mozilla Firefox versions prior to 45.0 Firefox ESR versions 38.x prior to 38.7

Description The issue is caused by a buffer overflow in the Machine::Code::decoder::analysis::set ref function. This can be exploited by a remote attacker using a specially crafted Graphite smart font, potentially allowing the execution of arbitrary code or causing a denial of service due to memory corruption.
