"Ilja van Sprundel of IOActive discovered several security issues in
the X.Org libXfont library, which may allow a local, authenticated
user to attempt to raise privileges; or a remote attacker who can
control the font server to attempt to execute code with the privileges
of the X server.

  - CVE-2014-0209
    Integer overflow of allocations in font metadata file
    parsing could allow a local user who is already
    authenticated to the X server to overwrite other memory
    in the heap.

  - CVE-2014-0210
    libxfont does not validate length fields when parsing
    xfs protocol replies allowing to write past the bounds
    of allocated memory when storing the returned data from
    the font server.

  - CVE-2014-0211
    Integer overflows calculating memory needs for xfs
    replies could result in allocating too little memory and
    then writing the returned data from the font server past
    the end of the allocated buffer."
