We have encountered a Windows kernel crash in the win32k!fsc_RemoveDups function while processing corrupted TTF font files, such as:
---
PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA (50)
Invalid system memory was referenced. This cannot be protected by try-except,
it must be protected by a Probe. Typically the address is just plain bad or it
is pointing at freed memory.
Arguments:
Arg1: ff6e7000, memory referenced.
Arg2: 00000000, value 0 = read operation, 1 = write operation.
Arg3: 91e809df, If non-zero, the instruction address which referenced the bad memory
address.
Arg4: 00000000, (reserved)
Debugging Details:

While we have not determined the specific root cause of the vulnerability, we have pinpointed the offending mutations to reside in the "glyf" table.
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. 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 is a proof of concept font file together with the corresponding kernel crash log.
