Synopsis:	Important: freetype security update
Issue date:	2010-08-05
CVE Names:	CVE-2010-1797

Two stack overflow flaws were found in the way the FreeType font engine
processed certain Compact Font Format (CFF) character strings (opcodes). 
If a user loaded a specially-crafted font file with an application 
linked against FreeType, it could cause the application to crash or, 
possibly, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running 
the application. (CVE-2010-1797)

Note: CVE-2010-1797 only affects the FreeType 2 font engine.

The X server must be restarted (log out, then log back in) for this 
update to take effect.
