Update FreeType used in binary wheels to `2.10.4`_ to fix CVE-2020-15999_:
8+
9+
- A heap buffer overflow has been found in the handling of embedded PNG bitmaps,
10+
introduced in FreeType version 2.6.

https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2020-15999
13+
14+
If you use option ``FT_CONFIG_OPTION_USE_PNG`` you should upgrade immediately.
15+
16+
Before Pillow 8.0.0 bitmap fonts were disabled with ``FT_LOAD_NO_BITMAP``, but it is not
17+
clear if this prevents the exploit and we recommend updating to Pillow 8.0.1.
18+
19+
Pillow 8.0.0 and earlier are potentially vulnerable releases, including the last release
20+
to support Python 2.7, namely Pillow 6.2.2.
