The vulnerability exists due to a boundary condition within the imageloadfont() function. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted data to the web application, trigger an out-of-bounds read error and read contents of memory on the system.
2) Integer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-37454)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
