  A flaw was found in the way the FreeType font rendering engine processed
  certain Glyph Bitmap Distribution Format (BDF) fonts. If a user loaded a
  specially-crafted font file with an application linked against FreeType, it
  could cause the application to crash or, possibly, execute arbitrary code
  with the privileges of the user running the application. (CVE-2012-5669)

  Users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which contain a
  backported patch to correct this issue. The X server must be restarted (log
  out, then log back in) for this update to take effect.");
