(LibXfont, LibXfont2: Arbitrary file access)

    It was discovered that libXfont incorrectly followed symlinks when
      opening font files.
  
Impact :

    A local unprivileged user could use this flaw to cause the X server to
      access arbitrary files, including special device files.
  
Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time."
