Use CVE-2009-4227 for the read_1_3_textobject

I also assigned CVE-2009-4228 for a stack-consumption issue (NOT an 
overflow) in u_bound.c, associated with the readfp_fig function in 
f_read.c.

Stack-based buffer overflow in the read_1_3_textobject function in
f_readold.c in Xfig 3.2.5b and earlier, and in the read_textobject
function in read1_3.c in fig2dev in Transfig 3.2.5a and earlier,
allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via a long string in
a malformed .fig file that uses the 1.3 file format.  NOTE: some of
these details are obtained from third party information.
