CVE-2026-8916: Freetype Port Counters Short Integer Overflow
Using 16-bit `short` integers for tracking the number of outline points (`n_points`) or contours (`n_contours`) can lead to integer overflow when processing complex vector graphics formats (like Lottie or SVG) with more than 32,767 items. This causes miscalculation of allocation bounds and out-of-bounds memory writes. Upgrade the structure types and explicit
