-  https://bugs.chromium.org/p/oss-fuzz/issues/detail?id=935
-
-* src/psaux/t1decode.c (t1_decoder_parse_charstrings)
-<callothersubr>: Since there is not a single flex operator but a
-series of subroutine calls, malformed fonts can call arbitrary other
-operators after the start of a flex, possibly adding points.  For
-this reason we have to check the available number of points before
-inserting a point.

-
-Bug #697190 ".initialize_dsc_parser doesn't validate the parameter is a dict type before using it."
-
-Regardless of any security implications, its simply wrong for a PostScript
-operator not to validate its parameter(s).

+Subject: [PATCH] Bug 697846: revision to commit 4f83478c88 (.eqproc)
+
+When using the "DELAYBIND" feature, it turns out that .eqproc can be called with
+parameters that are not both procedures. In this case, it turns out, the
+expectation is for the operator to return 'false', rather than throw an error.

+available during bootstrap, so using UTF-8 avoids that (and UTF-8 has
+built-in conversions in glibc, too.)

-From 5520704d075802df25ce4ffccc010ba1641bd484 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
-From: Nikos Mavrogiannopoulos <nmav@redhat.com>
-Date: Thu, 18 May 2017 18:03:34 +0200
-Subject: [PATCH] asn1_find_node: added safety check on asn1_find_node()
-
-This prevents a stack overflow in asn1_find_node() which
-is triggered by too long variable names in the definitions
-files. That means that applications have to deliberately
-pass a too long 'name' constant to asn1_write_value()
-and friends.  Reported by Jakub Jirasek.

-Fix heap-based buffer overflow in TIFFFillStrip():
-
-http://bugzilla.maptools.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2608
-
-2016-12-03 Even Rouault <even.rouault at spatialys.com>
-
-        * libtiff/tif_dirread.c: modify ChopUpSingleUncompressedStrip() to
-        instanciate compute ntrips as TIFFhowmany_32(td->td_imagelength,
-rowsperstrip),
-        instead of a logic based on the total size of data. Which is faulty is
-        the total size of data is not sufficient to fill the whole image, and
-thus
-        results in reading outside of the StripByCounts/StripOffsets arrays
-when
-        using TIFFReadScanline().
-        Reported by Agostino Sarubbo.
-        Fixes http://bugzilla.maptools.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2608.
-
-        * libtiff/tif_strip.c: revert the change in TIFFNumberOfStrips() done
-        for http://bugzilla.maptools.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2587 / CVE-2016-9273
-since
-        the above change is a better fix that makes it unnecessary.

-Subject: [PATCH] util/disk_cache: fix size subtraction on 32bit
-
-Negating size_t on 32bit produces a 32bit result. This was effectively
-adding values close to UINT_MAX to the cache size (the files are usually
-small) instead of intended subtraction.
-Fixes 'make check' disk_cache failures on 32bit.
