Hi, The following vulnerability was published for freetype. CVE-2026-95512[0]: | A flaw was found in FreeType, specifically within its CID font | loader. A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability by | tricking a user into opening content that embeds or references a | specially crafted CID-keyed font. This crafted font can cause | repeated allocations and decryptions of subroutine data across | multiple font dictionaries, leading to excessive memory and CPU | consumption. This can result in a denial of service (DoS) for the | application or service processing the font, potentially causing it | to hang or terminate. If you fix the vulnerability please also make sure to include the CVE (Common Vulnerabilities & Exposures) id in your changelog entry.
