    https://issues.rpath.com/browse/RPL-1213

Description:
    Previous versions of the freetype and xorg-x11 packages are vulnerable
    to several attacks in which a program run by an authenticated user can
    easily crash the X server (Denial of Service) and possibly also cause
    the X server to execute arbitrary malicious code as the root user.
