Bug in the truetype font JIT compiler. Note that windows does this in the kernel.

It happened before: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/security/bulletin/ms11-08...

Are you sure you mean JIT? That page doesn't mention JIT anywhere, and I can't think how a JIT would be very useful in a font engine. Maybe extremely complicated Unicode combining characters?
