    Package        : freetype
    CVE ID         : CVE-2025-27363

    An out-of-bounds write vulnerability when attempting to parse font
    subglyph structures related to TrueType GX and variable font files was
    discovered in FreeType, which may result in the execution of arbitrary
    code when processing specially crafted fonts.

    For the stable distribution (bookworm), this problem has been fixed in
    version 2.12.1+dfsg-5+deb12u4.

    We recommend that you upgrade your freetype packages.

    For the detailed security status of freetype please refer to its
    security tracker page at:
    https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/freetype

    Further information about Debian Security Advisories, how to apply
    these updates to your system and frequently asked questions can be
