CVE-2007-2754
Integer signedness error in truetype/ttgload.c in Freetype 2.3.4 and earlier might allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted TTF image with a negative n_points value, which leads to an integer overflow and heap-based buffer overflow.

Does this matter?
Lower severity and a low EPSS score (5.79%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.
