CVE-2014-9656 FreeType vulnerabilities
Title: FreeType vulnerabilities
Summary: FreeType could be made to crash or run programs as your login if it opened
a specially crafted file.
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.
Instructions: After a standard system update you need to restart your session to make
all the necessary changes.
