Description:

Security issue fixed: - CVE-2016-10244: The parse_charstrings function in type1/t1load.c did not ensure that a font contains a glyph name, which allowed remote attackers to cause a denial of service (heap-based buffer over-read) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted file (bsc#1028103).
