FreeType BDF Glyph Processing Buffer Overflow Vulnerability

A vulnerability has been identified in FreeType, which can be exploited by malicious people to potentially compromise an application using the library.

The vulnerability is caused due to an error in the "_bdf_parse_glyphs()" function (src/bdf/bdflib.c) when processing glyph information within Bitmap Distribution Format (BDF) files and can be exploited to cause a heap-based buffer overflow.
