Multiple buffer overflows in Apple Type Services (ATS) in Apple Mac OS X before 10.6.7 allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a document that contains a crafted SFNT table in an embedded 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.
