  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-2012-1134, CVE-2012-1136, CVE-2012-1142,
  CVE-2012-1144)
