Status: ModifiedHigh (8.8)—

Heap-based buffer overflow in the ByteArray::Get method in data/byte_array.cc in Google sfntly before 2016-06-10, as used in Google Chrome before 52.0.2743.82, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted SFNT font.

CVSS
