How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:unstable freetype to version 2.6.1-0.1 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream freetype package and not the freetype package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:unstable relevant fixed versions and status.

FreeType before 2.6.1 has a buffer over-read in skip_comment in psaux/psobjs.c because ps_parser_skip_PS_token is mishandled in an FT_New_Memory_Face operation.
