tag_insight = "FreeType is a free, high-quality, portable font engine that can open and
  manage font files. It also loads, hints, and renders individual glyphs
  efficiently. The freetype packages for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 provide
  both the FreeType 1 and FreeType 2 font engines. The freetype packages for
  Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 and 6 provide only the FreeType 2 font engine.

  A heap-based buffer overflow flaw was found in the way the FreeType font
  rendering engine processed certain TrueType GX 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-2010-3855)
  
  Note: This issue only affects the FreeType 2 font engine.
  
  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.";
