Details

FreeType is written in C, designed to be small,efficient, highly customizable, and portable while capable of producing high-quality output (glyph images) of most vector and bitmap font formats

Security Fix(es):

An integer overflow in the tt_var_load_item_variation_store function of the Freetype library in versions 2.13.2 and 2.13.3 may allow for an out of bounds read operation when parsing HVAR/VVAR/MVAR tables in OpenType variable fonts. This issue is fixed in version 2.14.2.(CVE-2026-23865)
