Freetype (http://www.freetype.org/) 2.5.5 was released a little while ago,
fixing some security vulnerabilities. Actually as I understand it, 2.5.4
fixed the vulns, then 2.5.5 fixed the fix.

OpenBSD 5.7 will ship with 2.5.5; 5.6 shipped with 2.5.3 and is therefore
vulnerable.

Unfortunately, the FreeType project does not appear to have made these patches
available separately from the releases, which makes it difficult for us to
apply backports to OpenBSD.

I guess the most important thing is to give users the opportunity to fix the 
vulns.  Will there be a CVS tag that 5.6 users can use to update FreeType to 
2.5.5?
