Tested on Windows NT4 SP6a. Had to force opening with fontview as it was not associated by default. No restart, just message "Not a valid font file". -----Original Message----- From: Andrew [mailto:aconnell@xtra.co.nz] Sent: 06 January 2003 15:37 To: bugtraq@securityfocus.com; vulnwatch@vulnwatch.org Subject: Opentype font file causes Windows to restart. Problem ------- The attached OpenType font file will cause Windows to restart immediately when the file is opened by the default viewer (fontview). I doubt anyone would suspect a "harmless" little font file of being able to cause such a thing to happen! Software affected ----------------- It has been tested on both Windows 2000 and Windows XP with exactly the same result -- an immediate restart. Other versions of Windows are untested. Fix --- No fix known. - Andrew Connell
