It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2017-11568 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: n/a. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-11568/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-11568/index.md)","id":"CVE-2017-11568","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-11568/index.md","name":"CVE-2017-11568","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2017-11568","GHSA-m63x-8w52-mmx9","UBUNTU-CVE-2017-11568"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["code_execution","denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"FontForge font editor","requires_auth":"none","summary":"A heap-based buffer over-read in FontForge allows attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause denial of service via a crafted OTF file.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"memory_corruption"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"fontforge","vendor":"fontforge"}],"cvss":{"score":7.8,"severity":"high","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-125","name":"Out-of-bounds Read"}],"description":"FontForge 20161012 is vulnerable to a heap-based buffer over-read in PSCharStringToSplines (psread.c) resulting in DoS or code execution via a crafted otf file.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":true,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2017-11568","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"memory_corruption","year":"2017"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2017-11569"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Cross-site request forgery in n/a","id":"CVE-2017-11567"},"products":["n/a"],"published":"2017-07-23","related":[{"cvss_score":9.8,"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2019-15785","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2019-08-29"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"FontForge SFD File Parsing Use-After-Free Remote Code Execution Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2025-15269","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-12-31"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"FontForge SFD File Parsing Improper Validation of Array Index Remote Code Execution Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2025-15270","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-12-31"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"FontForge SFD File Parsing Improper Validation of Array Index Remote Code Execution Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2025-15271","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-12-31"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"FontForge SFD File Parsing Heap-based Buffer Overflow Remote Code Execution Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2025-15272","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-12-31"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"FontForge PFB File Parsing Stack-based Buffer Overflow Remote Code Execution Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2025-15273","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-12-31"},{"cvss_score":8.8,"headline":"FontForge SFD File Parsing Heap-based Buffer Overflow Remote Code Execution Vulnerability","id":"CVE-2025-15274","kev_date_added":null,"published":"2025-12-31"}],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"US public information, NVD API terms","name":"NVD"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":null,"exploitation":null,"technical_impact":null},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2024-08-05","vendors":["n/a"]},"summary":"A heap-based buffer over-read in FontForge allows attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause denial of service via a crafted OTF file.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-11568/"}
