There is a bug in the libfreetype installed by the security update 
(precisely the kind of bug a security update is normally supposed to 
eliminate). But what exactly triggers the bug is not clear. I suspect it 
is a specific font or class of fonts. So if you don't use this font, you 
are fine. But since you don't know which font it is, the crash can hit 
you any time.
