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.
