    FontForge is vulnerable to an error when processing the

      buffer overflow.
  
Impact :

    A remote attacker could entice a user to open a specially crafted BDF
      file using FontForge font editor, possibly resulting in the remote
      execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the FontForge process,
      or a Denial of Service (application crash).
  
Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time."
