CrOS: Vulnerability reported in media-libs/freetype

Project Member Reported by vomit.go...@appspot.gserviceaccount.com, Mar 9 2017

Issue description

Automated analysis has detected that the following third party packages have had vulnerabilities publicly reported. 

NOTE: There may be several bugs listed below - in almost all cases, all bugs can be quickly addressed by upgrading to the latest version of the package.

Package Name: media-libs/freetype
Package Version: [cpe:/a:freetype:freetype:2.7 cpe:/a:freetype:freetype:2.7.1]

Advisory: CVE-2016-10244
  Details: https://vomit.googleplex.com/advisory?id=CVE/CVE-2016-10244
  CVSS severity score: 6.8/10.0
  Confidence: high
  Description:

The parse_charstrings function in type1/t1load.c in FreeType 2 before 2.7 does not ensure that a font contains a glyph name, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (heap-based buffer over-read) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted file.

It looks to me like we're using FreeType 2.7.0 already (https://crbug.com/646635,  https://crbug.com/692088 ). I will WontFix this for now but +FreeType people to verify.

We did roll to 2.7+, but jshin@ is investigating why this roll is not making it to CHROMEOS_LKGM in  issue 699525 .

But also, we don't support Type1 fonts, so we should not reach the code in question.
