Am I affected?
Debian, Ubuntu or Red Hat sometimes backport a fix without changing the upstream version number: such a version reads « to verify », never « affected ».With a domain, we read the version its public headers and pages expose. A distribution build can carry the fix under an older number.
Description
The graphite2::TtfUtil::CmapSubtable12Lookup function in TtfUtil.cpp in Graphite 2 before 1.3.6, as used in Mozilla Firefox before 45.0 and Firefox ESR 38.x before 38.7, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (buffer over-read) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted Graphite smart font, a different vulnerability than CVE-2016-2797.
