Multiple integer overflow flaws and an integer signedness flaw, leading to
heap-based buffer overflows, were found in the way FreeType handled Mac
fonts. If a specially crafted font file was loaded by an application
linked against FreeType, it could cause the application to crash or,
potentially, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user
running the application. (CVE-2014-9673, CVE-2014-9674)
