Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Out-of-Bounds. Array index error in the hb_ot_layout_build_glyph_classes function in pango/opentype/hb-ot-layout.cc in Pango before 1.27.1 allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) via a crafted font file, related to building a synthetic Glyph Definition (aka GDEF) table by using this font's charmap and the Unicode property database.
