NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream harfbuzz package and not the harfbuzz package as distributed by Ubuntu.

hb-ot-layout-gpos-table.hh in HarfBuzz before 1.0.5 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (buffer over-read) or possibly have unspecified other impact via crafted data, a different vulnerability than CVE-2016-2052.
