The following heap-based out-of-bounds memory reads have been encountered in FreeType, in the handling of the "cmap" (format 14) SFNT table. They have been reproduced with the current version of freetype2 from master git branch, with a 64-bit build of the ftbench utility compiled with AddressSanitizer:

$ ftbench <file>

Attached are three POC files which trigger the conditions.
