DSA-2116-1: [DSA-2116-1] New freetype packages integer overflow
Marc Schoenefeld has found an input stream position error in the
way the FreeType font rendering engine processed input file streams.
If a user loaded a specially-crafted font file with an application
linked against FreeType and relevant font glyphs were subsequently
rendered with the X FreeType library (libXft), it could cause the
application to crash or, possibly execute arbitrary code.
