    Package : fontforge
    CVE ID : CVE-2017-11568 CVE-2017-11569 CVE-2017-11571 CVE-2017-11572
    CVE-2017-11574 CVE-2017-11575 CVE-2017-11576 CVE-2017-11577 Debian Bug : 869614

    It was discovered that FontForge, a font editor, did not correctly
    validate its input. An attacker could use this flaw by tricking a user
    into opening a maliciously crafted OpenType font file, thus causing a denial-of-service via application crash, or execution of arbitrary
    code.

    For the oldstable distribution (jessie), these problems have been fixed
    in version 20120731.b-5+deb8u1.

    For the stable distribution (stretch), these problems have been fixed in version 1:20161005~dfsg-4+deb9u1.

    We recommend that you upgrade your fontforge packages.
