+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #224607 +++

Kees Cook from Ubuntu reported a "off-the-end-of-string increment", which could
theoretically lead ot a buffer overflow.

This flaw would only be exploitable if a JIS-encoded font is used when
processing a special malicious string.

The issue here is that the NULL terminator is incremented, which could lead to
unknown results during the processing of the malicious string.
