CVE-2016-10244 FreeType vulnerability
Title: FreeType vulnerability
Summary: FreeType could be made to crash or run programs if it opened a specially
crafted font file.
It was 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, resulting in a
denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code.
Instructions: After a standard system update you need to restart your session to make
all the necessary changes.
