Freshness: upstream tracker timestamp is available; use API updated time as primary recency signal.
CVE-2016-10244 medium priority: Ubuntu including 1 source packages (freetype), 6 status rows across 6 suites (precise, trusty, upstream, xenial, yakkety, zesty): released 6.
The parse_charstrings function in type1/t1load.c in FreeType 2 before 2.7 does not ensure that a font contains a glyph name, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (heap-based buffer over-read) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted file.
