[slackware-security] freetype

New freetype packages are available for Slackware 13.0, 13.1, 13.37, 14.0,
14.1, 14.2, and -current to fix a security issue.

Here are the details from the Slackware 14.2 ChangeLog:

patches/packages/freetype-2.6.3-i586-2_slack14.2.txz: Rebuilt.
This update fixes an out-of-bounds write caused by a heap-based buffer
overflow related to the t1_builder_close_contour function in psaux/psobjs.c.
