Debian 5.0 Lenny DSA-2116-1 Critical: Freetype Integer Overflow

After the upgrade, all running applications and services that use
libfreetype6 should be restarted. In most cases, logging out and
in again should be enough. The script checkrestart from the
debian-goodies package or lsof may help to find out which
processes are still using the old version of libfreetype6.

For the stable distribution (lenny), these problems have been fixed in
version 2.3.7-2+lenny4.

The testing distribution (squeeze) and the unstable distribution (sid)
are not affected by this problem.

We recommend that you upgrade your freetype packages.
