Description:
 The tt_sbit_decoder_init function in sfnt/ttsbit.c in FreeType before 2.5.4
 proceeds with a count-to-size association without restricting the count
 value, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (integer
 overflow and out-of-bounds read) or possibly have unspecified other impact
 via a crafted embedded bitmap.
