Security issues fied with this release:
CVE-2013-6462
Stack-based buffer overflow in the bdfReadCharacters function in bitmap/bdfread.c in X.Org libXfont 1.1
through 1.4.6 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) or possibly execute arbitrary
code via a long string in a character name in a BDF font file.
Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the MiracleLinux security advisory.
Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
