Security Fixes

CVE-2012-1134, CVE-2012-1136, CVE-2012-1142, CVE-2012-1144
Multiple flaws were found in the way FreeType handled TrueType Font (TTF), Glyph Bitmap Distribution Format (BDF), Windows .fnt and .fon, and PostScript Type 1 fonts. If a specially-crafted font file was loaded by an application linked against FreeType, it could cause the application to crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the application.
CVE-2012-1126, CVE-2012-1127, CVE-2012-1130, CVE-2012-1131, CVE-2012-1132, CVE-2012-1137, CVE-2012-1139, CVE-2012-1140, CVE-2012-1141, CVE-2012-1143
Multiple flaws were found in the way FreeType handled fonts in various formats. If a specially-crafted font file was loaded by an application linked against FreeType, it could cause the application to crash.
Red Hat would like to thank Mateusz Jurczyk of the Google Security Team for reporting these issues.
Users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which contain a backported patch to correct these issues. The X server must be restarted (log out, then log back in) for this update to take effect.
