"The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200609-07
(LibXfont, monolithic X.org: Multiple integer overflows)
Several integer overflows have been found in the CID font parser.
Impact :
A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability by enticing a user
to load a malicious font file resulting in the execution of arbitrary
code with the permissions of the user running the X server which
typically is the root user. A local user could exploit this
vulnerability to gain elevated privileges.
Workaround :
Disable CID-encoded Type 1 fonts by removing the 'type1' module and
replacing it with the 'freetype' module in xorg.conf."
