Subject: [PATCH] Fix CVE-2025-15269: Use-after-free in SFD ligature parsing
(#5722)
Prevent circular linked list in LigaCreateFromOldStyleMultiple by clearing
the next pointer after shallow copy. The shallow copy propagates liga's
modified next pointer from previous iterations, creating a cycle that
causes double-free when the list is traversed and freed.
