Description simon izor 2018-02-06 00:19:28 UTC
The current version of libfreetype6 being used in Tumbleweed contains a couple of CVEs and is also pretty outdated.  Please update libfreetype6 to 2.9.  Sorry if this is not the proper place to report this, but I don't see any way to flag packages as outdated.

CVE-2017-8105, CVE-2017-8287: Older FreeType versions have out-of-bounds writes caused by heap-based buffer overflows related to Type 1 fonts.
