The GUIX binary resource loader never checks that a font page's glyph range is well formed. and are read verbatim from the file and only the upper bound of is validated, so a page declaring makes underflow to a very large unsigned count. That count is multiplied by a glyph record size to reserve the load buffer, and the multiply is unchecked, so it wraps to a small value and the loader allocates a buffer far smaller than the data it is about to write. The load pass then recomputes the count in a narrower type and writes attacker-controlled glyph records into the undersized buffer.

No affected version ranges are stored yet. Use the vendor advisory before you decide this record does not apply.
