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-2017-11576 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-2017-11576/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-11576/index.md)","id":"CVE-2017-11576","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-11576/index.md","name":"CVE-2017-11576","record":{"aliases":["DEBIAN-CVE-2017-11576","GHSA-f6j8-4mx6-p423","UBUNTU-CVE-2017-11576"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["denial_of_service"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"FontForge font editor","requires_auth":"none","summary":"A crafted OTF file can cause a denial of service in FontForge due to an unchecked size in a memory copy operation.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"denial_of_service"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"mitre","cpe":[{"product":"fontforge","vendor":"fontforge"}],"cvss":{"score":5.5,"severity":"medium","source":"nvd","vector":"CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H","version":"3.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-119","name":"Improper Restriction of Operations within the Bounds of a Memory Buffer"}],"description":"FontForge 20161012 does not ensure a positive size in a weight vector memcpy call in readcfftopdict (parsettf.c) resulting in DoS 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":"Denial of service in n/a","id":"CVE-2017-11576","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"denial_of_service","year":"2017"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":2,"next":{"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2017-11577"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Memory corruption in n/a","id":"CVE-2017-11575"},"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 crafted OTF file can cause a denial of service in FontForge due to an unchecked size in a memory copy operation.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2017-11576/"}
