Description GLSAMaker/CVETool Bot gentoo-dev 2018-01-25 16:30:14 UTC 
CVE-2017-17521 (https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2017-17521):
  uiutil.c in FontForge through 20170731 does not validate strings before
  launching the program specified by the BROWSER environment variable, which
  might allow remote attackers to conduct argument-injection attacks via a
  crafted URL, a different vulnerability than CVE-2017-17534.
