If a pattern contained a '?' character any character in the string is skipped even if it was a '0'. The rest of the matching then read invalid memory.

CVE-2017-13722

A malformed PCF file could cause the library to make reads from random heap memory that was behind the `strings` buffer, leading to an application crash or a information leak.

For Debian 7 Wheezy, this issue has been fixed in libxfont version 1:1.4.5-5+deb7u1.
