  - CVE-2017-9726: The Ins_MDRP function in base/ttinterp.c     allowed remote attackers to cause a denial of service     (heap-based buffer over-read and application crash) or     possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted     document (bsc#1050889)

  - CVE-2017-9727: The gx_ttfReader__Read function in     base/gxttfb.c allowed remote attackers to cause a denial     of service (heap-based buffer over-read and application     crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a     crafted document (bsc#1050888)

  - CVE-2017-9739: The Ins_JMPR function in base/ttinterp.c     allowed remote attackers to cause a denial of service     (heap-based buffer over-read and application crash) or     possibly have unspecified other impact via a crafted     document (bsc#1050887)

  - CVE-2017-11714: psi/ztoken.c mishandled references to     the scanner state structure, which allowed remote     attackers to cause a denial of service (application     crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact via a     crafted PostScript document, related to an out-of-bounds     read in the igc_reloc_struct_ptr function in psi/igc.c     (bsc#1051184)
