Security
========

Update FreeType used in binary wheels to `2.10.4`_ to fix CVE-2020-15999_:

- A heap buffer overflow has been found in the handling of embedded PNG bitmaps,
introduced in FreeType version 2.6.

https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2020-15999

If you use option ``FT_CONFIG_OPTION_USE_PNG`` you should upgrade immediately.

We strongly recommend updating to Pillow 8.0.1 if you are using Pillow 8.0.0, which improved support for bitmap fonts.

In Pillow 7.2.0 and earlier bitmap fonts were disabled with ``FT_LOAD_NO_BITMAP``, but it is not
clear if this prevents the exploit and we recommend updating to Pillow 8.0.1.

Pillow 8.0.0 and earlier are potentially vulnerable releases, including the last release

Technically speaking, it is only Pillow 2.9.0 onwards that are potentially vulnerable. Freetype 2.6 wasn't available before that.

Also note that FT_LOAD_NO_BITMAP was added in Pillow 2.8.0, before the release of FreeType 2.6, in #1072, so 8.0.0 is the only version that is very likely to be vulnerable.

to support Python 2.7, namely Pillow 6.2.2.
