Freshness: upstream tracker timestamp is available; use API updated time as primary recency signal.
CVE-2016-2795 medium priority: Ubuntu including 3 source packages (firefox, graphite2, thunderbird), 21 status rows across 7 suites (precise, trusty, upstream, wily, xenial, yakkety, zesty): released 17, not-affected 3, ignored 1.
The graphite2::FileFace::get_table_fn function in Graphite 2 before 1.3.6, as used in Mozilla Firefox before 45.0 and Firefox ESR 38.x before 38.7, does not initialize memory for an unspecified data structure, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service or possibly have unknown other impact via a crafted Graphite smart font.
