xpcd-svga uses svgalib to display graphics on the console and it would
copy user-supplied data of an arbitrary length into a fixed-size
buffer in the pcd_open function.

As well, Steve Kemp previously discovered a buffer overflow in
xpcd-svga that could be triggered by a long HOME environment variable,
which could be exploited by a local attacker to obtain root
privileges.

The updated packages resolve these vulnerabilities."
