Description:
 The SillMap::readFace function in FeatureMap.cpp in Libgraphite in Graphite
 2 1.2.4, as used in Mozilla Firefox before 43.0 and Firefox ESR 38.x before
 38.6.1, mishandles a return value, which allows remote attackers to cause a
 denial of service (missing initialization, NULL pointer dereference, and
 application crash) via a crafted Graphite smart font.
