+ Tavis Ormandy reported multiple integer overflows in the
+ cff_charset_compute_cids() function in cff/cffload.c, sfnt/tccmap.c and
+ the ft_smooth_render_generic() function in smooth/ftsmooth.c, possibly
+ leading to heap or stack-based buffer overflows.

+ <impact type="normal">
+ <p>
+ A remote attacker could entice a user or automated system to open a
+ specially crafted font file, possibly resulting in the execution of
+ arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the application,
+ or a Denial of Service.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ There is no known workaround at this time.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>

+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=media-libs/freetype-2.3.9-r1"</code>
