+Fix memory DOS in ImageFont
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+A corrupt or specially crafted TTF font could have font metrics that lead to
+unreasonably large sizes when rendering text in font. ``ImageFont.py`` did not
+check the image size before allocating memory for it. This dates to the PIL
+fork. Pillow 8.2.0 added a check for large sizes, but did not consider the
+case where one dimension is zero.

+Null pointer dereference crash in ImageFont
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
 
-TODO
+Pillow attempted to dereference a null pointer in ``ImageFont``, leading to a
+crash. An error is now raised instead. This has been present since
+Pillow 8.0.0.
