CVE-2026-91189

Description

The GUIX binary resource loader never checks that a font page's glyph range is well formed. gx_page_header_first_glyph and gx_page_header_last_glyph are read verbatim from the file and only the upper bound of last_glyph is validated, so a page declaring first_glyph > last_glyph makes last - first + 1 underflow to a very large unsigned count.

That count is multiplied by a glyph record size to reserve the load buffer, and the multiply is unchecked, so it wraps to a small value and the loader allocates a buffer far smaller than the data it is about to write. The load pass then recomputes the count in a narrower type and writes attacker-controlled glyph records into the undersized buffer.
