CVE-2022-23319 (https://github.com/ganaware/pcf2bdf):

A segmentation fault during PCF file parsing in pcf2bdf versions >=1.05 allows an attacker to trigger a program crash via a specially crafted PCF font file. This crash affects the availability of the software and dependent downstream components.

This CVE has a practically useless description and no references other
than the GitHub repository. However, there are a bunch of obvious
security fix commits, so would be best to get a snapshot:

Comment 1 Hans de Graaff gentoo-dev Security 2023-10-25 11:48:29 UTC
This has been fixed in pcf2bdf-1.07.
