CVEID: CVE-2016-1521
DESCRIPTION: Libgraphite, as used in Mozilla Firefox, could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the system, caused by an error in the directrun function when handling malicious fonts. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability using a specially crafted Graphite smart font to execute arbitrary code on the system, obtain sensitive information, or cause the application to crash.
CVSS Base Score: 8.8
CVSS Temporal Score: See https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/110666 for the current score
CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H)
CVEID: CVE-2016-1522
DESCRIPTION: Libgraphite, as used in Mozilla Firefox, is vulnerable to a heap-based buffer overflow, caused by improper bounds checking by the bidirectional font handling functionality. By using a specially crafted Graphite smart font, a remote attacker could overflow a buffer and execute arbitrary code on the system or trigger a NULL pointer dereference and cause the application to crash.

CVEID: CVE-2016-1526
DESCRIPTION: Libgraphite, as used in Mozilla Firefox, is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by the improper validation of a size value by the TtfUtil:LocaLookup function in TtfUtil.cpp. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability using a specially crafted Graphite smart font to obtain sensitive information or cause the application to crash.
