The short answer is that 1449225 has two CVE IDs, and 1492124 has one
CVE ID; see below.

The http://openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2015/09/11/4 message was
apparently posted after http://www.ubuntu.com/usn/USN-2739-1 but
didn't mention that USN-2739-1 existed. The MITRE CVE team had begun
work on CVE entries for USN-2739-1 but then that oss-security message
was noticed.

All of 1492124 corresponds to CVE-2014-9745, which has existed for
about 10 days:

  http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2014-9745

> http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/freetype/freetype2.git/commit/?id=8b281f83e8516535756f92dbf90940ac44bd45e1
> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/freetype/+bug/1449225
> https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=798619

8b281f83e8516535756f92dbf90940ac44bd45e1 refers to four files in which
return values aren't checked, and uninitialized memory can
consequently be accessed. Use CVE-2014-9746 for all of those issues.

Also within 8b281f83e8516535756f92dbf90940ac44bd45e1, t42parse.c has a
new code block with a comment of "we would get an infinite loop if we
don't do anything here." As far as we can tell, this is a fix for a
CWE-372 ("Incomplete Internal State Distinction") issue in the sense
that the possibility of immediates-only mode isn't checked. This is
not closely related to the cause of the CVE-2014-9745 t1load.c
infinite loop. Use CVE-2014-9747 for this t42parse.c vulnerability.
