Description
The freedesktop.org project reports: If a pattern contains '?' character, any character in the string is skipped, even if it is '\0'. The rest of the matching then reads invalid memory. Without the checks a malformed PCF file can cause the library to make atom from random heap memory that was behind the `strings` buffer. This may crash the process or leak information.
