(LibXfont, TightVNC: Multiple vulnerabilities)
The libXfont code is prone to several integer overflows, in functions
ProcXCMiscGetXIDList(), bdfReadCharacters() and FontFileInitTable().
TightVNC contains a local copy of this code and is also affected.
Impact :
A local attacker could use a specially crafted BDF Font to gain root
privileges on the vulnerable host.
Workaround :
There is no known workaround at this time."
