Recurring patterns
The bug types that recur here, drawn from past fixes, not open vulnerabilities.
Integer Overflow: Integer overflows during table parsing, such as in COLR table loading, allow attackers to bypass bounds checks by adding offset values that wrap around. This can lead to out-of-bounds reads or writes during font rendering. Utilizing subtraction rather than addition for bounds checks is critical to preventing these safety violations.
