CVE-2026-56003 is a heap-based buffer overflow in libXfont2 versions before 2.0.8. While parsing a PCF font, ComputeScaledProperties() allocates a fixed property buffer of 70 slots (1120 bytes) but does not enforce its capacity when adding derived properties. Matching unscaled properties consume one slot, while scaled X or Y properties consume two slots. Because duplicate properties are not deduplicated, a crafted PCF font containing sufficiently many matching properties can cause writes beyond the allocated heap buffer.
