We have encountered a crash in the Windows Uniscribe user-mode library, in the USP10!otlValueRecord::adjustPos function, while trying to display text using a corrupted TTF font file:

The issue reproduces on Windows 7, and could be potentially used to disclose sensitive data from the process heap. It is easiest to reproduce with PageHeap enabled, but it is also possible to observe a crash in a default system configuration. In order to reproduce the problem with the provided samples, it might be necessary to use a custom program which displays all of the font's glyphs at various point sizes.

Attached are 3 proof of concept malformed font files which trigger the crash.
