Heap-based buffer overflow in Apple Type Services (ATS) in Apple Mac OS X 10.4.11 and 10.5 before 10.5.7 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted Compact Font Format (CFF) font.
The product performs operations on a memory buffer, but it reads from or writes to a memory location outside the buffer's intended boundary. This may result in read or write operations on unexpected memory locations that could be linked to other variables, data structures, or internal program data.
