Bug description:
  FreeType issue https://savannah.nongnu.org/bugs/?41309 was fixed with
  http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/freetype/freetype2.git/commit/?id=8b281f83e8516535756f92dbf90940ac44bd45e1
  . This change is not in any of the current FreeType packages (Precise
  freetype 2.4.8-1ubuntu2.2 nor Trusty freetype 2.5.2-1ubuntu2.4 ). This
  is a fix for a few use of uninitialized data bugs which were found by
  msan, and is in FreeType 2.5.3 (but comes after 2.5.2).

  This is a request to backport
  http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/freetype/freetype2.git/commit/?id=8b281f83e8516535756f92dbf90940ac44bd45e1
  to all currently supported packages of FreeType, as all of them appear
  to be affected. Since this fixes reads of uninitialized memory in a
  widely used package, I'm marking this as a security related issue.
