Ubuntu Security Notice USN-3263-1
April 21, 2017

freetype vulnerability
==========================================================================

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

- - Ubuntu 17.04
- - Ubuntu 16.10
- - Ubuntu 16.04 LTS
- - Ubuntu 14.04 LTS
- - Ubuntu 12.04 LTS

Summary:

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

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

Details:

It was discovered that a heap-based buffer overflow existed in the
FreeType library. 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.

Update instructions:

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

Ubuntu 17.04:
  libfreetype6                    2.6.3-3ubuntu2.1

Ubuntu 16.10:
  libfreetype6                    2.6.3-3ubuntu1.2

Ubuntu 16.04 LTS:
  libfreetype6                    2.6.1-0.1ubuntu2.2

Ubuntu 14.04 LTS:
  libfreetype6                    2.5.2-1ubuntu2.7

Ubuntu 12.04 LTS:
  libfreetype6                    2.4.8-1ubuntu2.5

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