The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200710-11 (X Font Server: Multiple Vulnerabilities)

iDefense reported that the xfs init script does not correctly handle a     race condition when setting permissions of a temporary file     (CVE-2007-3103). Sean Larsson discovered an integer overflow     vulnerability in the build_range() function possibly leading to a     heap-based buffer overflow when handling 'QueryXBitmaps' and     'QueryXExtents' protocol requests (CVE-2007-4568). Sean Larsson also     discovered an error in the swap_char2b() function possibly leading to a     heap corruption when handling the same protocol requests     (CVE-2007-4990).

Impact :

The first issue would allow a local attacker to change permissions of     arbitrary files to be world-writable by performing a symlink attack.
The second and third issues would allow a local attacker to execute     arbitrary code with privileges of the user running the X Font Server,     usually xfs.

Workaround :

There is no known workaround at this time.
