(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."
