We have encountered a crash in the Windows Uniscribe user-mode library, in the USP10!UpdateGlyphFlags function, while trying to display text using a corrupted font file:

The issue reproduces on Windows 7. It is easiest to reproduce with PageHeap enabled, but it is also possible to observe a crash in a default system configuration. In order to reproduce the problem with the provided samples, it might be necessary to use a custom program which displays all of the font's glyphs at various point sizes.

Attached is an archive with 3 crashing samples.
