RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

This bug has been created based on an anonymous crash report requested by the package maintainer.

This is an issue lower down the stack (cogl-pango, cairo or freetype) - bug 1198861 suggests the latter, so reassigning there.

I think that this has been fixed by the rebase to 2.8 in #1576504. It has this commit http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/freetype/freetype2.git/commit/ChangeLog?id=747ae2c8aa3d8d3a5b731caf6aca9aae4ffb74fb + several additional which add thread safety.
I can reproduce this issue with steps from https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=977478 (with a crafted geeqie spec file to be able to build it in RHEL7) with freetype 2.4.11 but it can not be reproduced with the freetype 2.8.
