We have encountered a crash in the Windows Uniscribe user-mode library, in the memmove() function called by USP10!MergeLigRecords, while trying to display text using a corrupted font file:
---

The issue reproduces on Windows 7. 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.
It's worth noting that the crash is almost identical to the one reported in Issue #1026 , which was supposedly fixed as CVE-2017-0087 in the MS17-011 bulletin. The number of times we have encountered this crash while fuzzing the patched version of USP10.DLL might suggest that the fix was incomplete (or alternatively, that there is a separate bug which causes a crash in the same code location).
Attached are 6 proof of concept malformed font files which trigger the crash.
