CentOS Errata and Security Advisory CESA-2006:0665

X.org is an open source implementation of the X Window System. It provides
the basic low-level functionality that full-fledged graphical user
interfaces are designed upon.

iDefense reported two integer overflow flaws in the way the X.org server
processed CID font files. A malicious authorized client could exploit this
issue to cause a denial of service (crash) or potentially execute arbitrary
code with root privileges on the X.org server. (CVE-2006-3739, CVE-2006-3740)

Users of X.org should upgrade to these updated packages, which contain a
backported patch and is not vulnerable to this issue.
