Found with libFuzzer at FreeType 4a15013a2988206cb126d6bc550e06f975439a13 while running ftfuzzer.cc, reproduction attached.

The AddressSanitizer report is in the attached 'txt' file, and the reproduction is in the similarly named non-'txt' file. Note that the reproduction file here is actually a 'tar' archive with three files in it.

It appears the issue is that in T1_Read_Metrics after calling T1_Done_Metrics (early on, in the 'if ( face->afm_data )' block) that face->afm_data should be set to NULL. Currently it is not, so when a subsequent invalid metrics file is attached the current metrics are freed, but face->afm_data is now a dangling pointer since it wasn't re-assigned. Another approach might be to do the check and free the old metrics only when the new metrics are about to be assigned to face->afm_data inside the 'if ( fi->NumKernPair )' block.

I believe this issue was introduced with FreeType 3c582060 .
