About this tag
The font driver tag covers security vulnerabilities in Microsoft Windows font drivers, specifically the OpenType Font (OTF) driver. Discussions focus on critical and important security updates such as MS15-078 and MS10-091, which address remote code execution flaws. These vulnerabilities could be exploited when a user opens a specially crafted document or visits a webpage with embedded OpenType fonts, potentially allowing an attacker to take complete control of the affected system. The tag also includes references to elevation of privilege vulnerabilities in the OTF format driver. Users seeking information about font driver security patches and related risks will find relevant threads here.
