This update for freetype2 fixes the following issues: Security issue fixed :

  - CVE-2016-10244: The parse_charstrings function in     type1/t1load.c did not ensure that a font contains a     glyph name, which allowed remote attackers to cause a     denial of service (heap-based buffer over-read) or     possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted     file (bsc#1028103).

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-201706-14 (FreeType: Multiple vulnerabilities)

    Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in FreeType. Please review       the CVE identifiers referenced below for details.
  Impact :

    A remote attacker could entice a user to use a specially crafted font       file using FreeType, possibly resulting in execution of arbitrary code       with the privileges of the process or a Denial of Service condition.
  Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time.

Werner Lemberg reports :

CVE-2017-8105, CVE-2017-8287: Older FreeType versions have out-of-bounds writes caused by heap-based buffer overflows related to Type 1 fonts.

It was discovered that FreeType did not correctly handle certain malformed font files. If a user were tricked into using a specially crafted font file, a remote attacker could cause FreeType to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code.

New freetype packages are available for Slackware 13.0, 13.1, 13.37, 14.0, 14.1, 14.2, and -current to fix a security issue.

It was found that a malformed font could result in denial of service or the execution of arbitrary code.

For Debian 7 'Wheezy', these problems have been fixed in version 2.4.9-1.1+deb7u7.

We recommend that you upgrade your freetype packages.
