Affected Products:

  * SUSE Linux Micro 6.0

  
  
An update that solves seven vulnerabilities can now be installed.

## Description:

This update for freetype2 fixes the following issues:

Update to 2.13.2:

  * Some fields in the `FT_Outline` structure have been changed from signed to
    unsigned type, which better reflects the actual usage. It is also an
    additional means to protect against malformed input.
  * Rare double-free crashes in the cache subsystem have been fixed.
  * Excessive stack allocation in the autohinter has been fixed.
  * The B/W rasterizer has received a major upkeep that results in large
    performance improvements. The rendering speed has increased and even doubled
    for very complex glyphs.

## Patch Instructions:

To install this SUSE update use the SUSE recommended installation methods like
YaST online_update or "zypper patch".  
Alternatively you can run the command listed for your product:

  * SUSE Linux Micro 6.0  
    zypper in -t patch SUSE-SLE-Micro-6.0-300=1
