therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the TSSA-2026:0616 advisory.

    Package updates are available for TencentOS Server 4 that fix the following vulnerabilities:

    CVE-2026-56003:
    A heap buffer overflow due to missing size checking in the property buffer when parsing PCF files in
    libXfont2 ComputeScaledProperties() before libXfont2 before 2.0.8 could be used by attackers using
    authenticated X clients to execute code within the X server.

    CVE-2026-56002:
    A heap bufferflow in pcfReadFont() due to missing glyph bounds checkingin libXfont2 before 2.0.8
    allows attackers authenticated as X client to execute code within the X server.

    CVE-2026-56001:
    A heap buffer overflow in BitmapScaleBitmaps in libXfont2 before 2.0.8 due to an overflowing 32bit size
    could be used by attackers able to access the X Server to execute code within the X server cont
