## Description:

This update for cairo fixes the following issues:

  * CVE-2025-50422: Fixed Poppler crash on malformed input (bsc#1247589)

  * Update to version 1.18.4:

  * The dependency on LZO has been made optional through a build time
    configuration toggle.
  * You can build Cairo against a Freetype installation that does not have the
    FT_Color type.
  * Cairo tests now build on Solaris 11.4 with GCC 14.
  * The DirectWrite backend now builds on MINGW 11.
  * The DirectWrite backend now supports font variations and proper glyph
    coverage.
  * Use tarball in lieu of source service due to freedesktop gitlab migration,
    will switch back at next release at the latest.
  * Add pkgconfig(lzo2) BuildRequires: New optional dependency, build lzo2
    support feature.

  * Convert to source service: allows for easier upgrades by the GNOME team.

  * Update to version 1.18.2:

  * The malloc-stats code has been removed from the tests directory
  * Cairo now requires a version of pixman equal to, or newer than, 0.40.
  * There have been multiple build fixes for newer versions of GCC for MSVC; for
    Solaris; and on macOS 10.7.
  * PNG errors caused by loading malformed data are correctly propagated to
    callers, so they can handle the case.
  * Both stroke and fill colors are now set when showing glyphs on a PDF
    surface.
  * All the font options are copied when creating a fallback font object.
  * When drawing text on macOS, Cairo now tries harder to select the appropriate
    font name.
  * Cairo now prefers the COLRv1 table inside a font, if one is available.
  * Cairo requires a C11 toolchain when building.
