    <package name="media-libs/freetype" auto="yes" arch="*">
      <unaffected range="ge">2.5.3-r1</unaffected>
      <vulnerable range="lt">2.5.3-r1</vulnerable>

  <impact type="normal">
    <p>A remote attacker may be able to execute arbitrary code or cause a
      Denial of Service condition via specially crafted font file.
    </p>
  </impact>
  <workaround>
    <p>There is no known workaround at this time.</p>
  </workaround>
  <resolution>
    <p>All FreeType users should upgrade to the latest version:</p>
    
    <code>
      # emerge --sync
      # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=media-libs/freetype-2.5.3-r1"
    </code>
    
    <p>Packages which depend on this library may need to be recompiled. Tools
      such as revdep-rebuild may assist in identifying these packages.
