Notes:

- Reproduces on Adobe Acrobat Reader DC (2019.012.20035) on Windows 10, with and without PageHeap enabled.

- The crash occurs immediately after opening the PDF document, and is caused by an attempt to write data outside of a static buffer in the CoolType.dll library.

- Attached samples: poc.pdf (crashing file), original.pdf (original file).

- We have minimized the difference between the original and mutated files down to two bytes at offset 0x123bff, changed from the original values of 0xC0 0x95 to 0xFF 0x7F. These bytes reside inside of a CFF font stream.
