freetype vulnerabilities
==========================================================================

A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:

– Ubuntu 14.10
– Ubuntu 14.04 LTS
– Ubuntu 12.04 LTS
– Ubuntu 10.04 LTS

Summary:

FreeType could be made to crash or run programs as your login if it opened
a specially crafted file.

Software Description:
– freetype: FreeType 2 is a font engine library

Details:

Mateusz Jurczyk 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 or possibly
execute arbitrary code with user privileges.

Update instructions:

The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following
package versions:

Ubuntu 14.10:
libfreetype6 2.5.2-2ubuntu1.1

Ubuntu 14.04 LTS:
libfreetype6 2.5.2-1ubuntu2.4

Ubuntu 12.04 LTS:
libfreetype6 2.4.8-1ubuntu2.2

Ubuntu 10.04 LTS:
libfreetype6 2.3.11-1ubuntu2.8

After a standard system update you need to restart your session to make
all the necessary changes.
