    CVE-2016-10244

    Summary: Updated freetype2 packages fix security vulnerability

    Details: The parse_charstrings function in type1/t1load.c in FreeType 2 did not ensure that a font contains a glyph name, which could allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (heap-based buffer over-read) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted file (CVE-2016-10244).
