NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream cairo package and not the cairo package as distributed by Ubuntu.

cairo 1.16.0, in cairo_ft_apply_variations() in cairo-ft-font.c, would free memory using a free function incompatible with WebKit's fastMalloc, leading to an application crash with a "free(): invalid pointer" error.
