"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."
