Tavis Ormandy discovered several integer overflows in FreeType, a library
to process and access font files, resulting in heap- or stack-based
buffer overflows leading to application crashes or the execution
of arbitrary code via a crafted font file.

For the oldstable distribution (etch), this problem has been fixed in
version 2.2.1-5+etch4.

For the stable distribution (lenny), this problem has been fixed in
version 2.3.7-2+lenny1.

For the testing distribution (squeeze), this problem will be fixed soon.

For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem has been fixed in
version 2.3.9-4.1.

We recommend that you upgrade your freetype packages.
