Thanks for the report and patch; I've fixed it slightly differently in the git.

I've locally applied the attached 'type42.diff' to my source to work around this. This applies the same "(FT_Long)( limit - parser->root.cursor ) < face->ttf_size" check done in the BEFORE_START case to the BEFORE_TABLE_DIR case.

(file #35245)

In this case there is one single huge allocation which happens in t42_parse_sfnts on the lines like

if ( FT_REALLOC( face->ttf_data, 12 + 16 * num_tables,
face->ttf_size + 1 ) )

because 'face->ttf_size' is 1913035808. A few lines up is the cause

len = FT_PEEK_ULONG( p );

this len and the resulting face->ttf_size should be checked for sanity.

I ran this with an un-instrumented build of FreeType/runonce doing something like

freetype2$ ./configure
freetype2$ make -j32
freetype2$ g++ -std=c++11 src/tools/ftfuzzer/ftfuzzer.cc src/tools/ftfuzzer/runinput.cc -I include objs/.libs/libfreetype.a -lbz2 -lz -lpng -lharfbuzz -larchive -o objs/runinput
freetype2$ /usr/bin/time objs/runinput 6efffbcd9e11318b86881506a4b0d2c7b0f489a9

which produces

36.94user 0.31system 0:37.33elapsed 99%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata 1870424maxresident)k
512inputs+0outputs (2major+2713minor)pagefaults 0swaps

So it looks like this is taking over half a minute and allocates ~1.8GB without the overhead of sanitizers (which approximately doubles time and memory). The perf results look the same as previous.

Found with libFuzzer with FreeType 5179c89f61aa6b, reproduction attached.

When running through ftfuzzer/runinput.cc this malformed Type42 font takes a very long time to parse (at least a full minute on my local machine) which seems like quite a bit for a 6K input. Perf says that all of the time is in t42_parse_sfnts (18%) and two functions it calls, ps_parser_skip_PS_token (45%) and ps_parser_to_bytes (32%).
