CentOS Errata and Security Advisory CESA-2008:0064
The libXfont package contains the X.Org X11 libXfont runtime library.
A heap based buffer overflow flaw was found in the way the X.Org server
handled malformed font files. A malicious local user could exploit this
issue to potentially execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the
X.Org server. (CVE-2008-0006)
Users of X.Org libXfont should upgrade to these updated packages, which
contain a backported patch to resolve this issue.
