An update that solves one vulnerability and has one errata is now available.

Description

This update for freetype2 to version 2.10.1 fixes the following issues:

Security issue fixed:

- CVE-2018-6942: Fixed a NULL pointer dereference within ttinerp.c

Non-security issues fixed:

- Update to version 2.10.1

* The bytecode hinting of OpenType variation fonts was flawed, since the

data in the `CVAR' table wasn't correctly applied.

* Auto-hinter support for Mongolian.

* The handling of the default character in PCF fonts as introduced in

version 2.10.0 was partially broken, causing premature abortion

of charmap iteration for many fonts.

* If `FT_Set_Named_Instance' was called with the same arguments

twice in a row, the function returned an incorrect error code the

second time.

* Direct rendering using FT_RASTER_FLAG_DIRECT crashed (bug

introduced in version 2.10.0).

* Increased precision while computing OpenType font variation

instances.
