Hello Uwe, thanks for the bug report. On a first look this doesn't feel like a security issue, it can probably be addressed by (a) removing fonts (b) adding memory (c) limiting the memory available to the process / user and thus preventing the user from causing problems.
Does this allow crossing security boundaries?
