Integer overflow in the Embedded OpenType (EOT) Font Engine in Microsoft Windows XP SP2 and SP3, Windows Server 2003 SP2, Windows Vista SP1 and SP2, Windows Server 2008 Gold, SP2, and R2, and Windows 7 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted table in an embedded font, aka "Embedded OpenType Font Integer Overflow Vulnerability."
Weaknesses in this category are related to improper calculation or conversion of numbers.
The product performs a calculation that can produce an integer overflow or wraparound when the logic assumes that the resulting value will always be larger than the original value. This occurs when an integer value is incremented to a value that is too large to store in the associated representation. When this occurs, the value may become a very small or negative number.
