We have encountered a Windows kernel crash in the win32k!fsc_BLTHoriz function while processing corrupted TTF font files, such as:

---
DRIVER_PAGE_FAULT_BEYOND_END_OF_ALLOCATION (d6)
N bytes of memory was allocated and more than N bytes are being referenced.
This cannot be protected by try-except.
When possible, the guilty driver's name (Unicode string) is printed on
the bugcheck screen and saved in KiBugCheckDriver.
Arguments:
Arg1: fbde5000, memory referenced
Arg2: 00000001, value 0 = read operation, 1 = write operation
Arg3: 8209f076, if non-zero, the address which referenced memory.
Arg4: 00000000, (reserved)

While we have not determined the specific root cause of the vulnerability, we have pinpointed the offending mutations to reside in the "fpgm", "hmtx" and "maxp" tables.

The issue reproduces on Windows 7 and 8.1. It is easiest to reproduce with Special Pools enabled for win32k.sys (leading to an immediate crash when the bug is triggered), but it is also possible to observe a crash on a default Windows installation in win32k!fsc_RemoveDups or another location in kernel space. Interestingly, the crash occurs in different win32k.sys functions depending on the operating system:

Windows 7 32-bit: win32k!fsc_BLTHoriz
Windows 7 64-bit: win32k!fsc_MeasureGlyph
Windows 8 32-bit: win32k!fsg_CopyFontProgramResults

In order to reproduce the problem with the provided sample, it might be necessary to use a custom program which displays all of the font's glyphs at various point sizes.

Attached is a proof of concept font file together with the corresponding kernel crash log.
