Debian DLA-2040-1 : harfbuzz security update

Description

An issue has been found in harfbuzz, an OpenType text shaping engine. Due to a buffer over-read, remote attackers are able to cause a denial of service or possibly have other impact via crafted data. For Debian 8 'Jessie', this problem has been fixed in version 0.9.35-2+deb8u1. We recommend that you upgrade your harfbuzz packages. NOTE: Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the DLA security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.
