CVE-2026-113679
HarfBuzz 8.0.0 through 14.6.0 Out-of-Bounds Write via WebAssembly font_glyph_to_string
Description
HarfBuzz 8.0.0 through 14.6.0 contains an out-of-bounds write vulnerability in the experimental WebAssembly shaper because the font_glyph_to_string import has a wrong WAMR signature. Attackers can supply a crafted font whose wasm module places the output buffer near linear memory's end, writing glyph-name bytes into host memory to crash or corrupt applications.
