The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'libxfont' package(s) announced via the DSA-2927-1 advisory. Multiple security issues found in the X.Org libXfont library may allow a local, authenticated user to attempt privilege escalation or a remote attacker to execute code with the privileges of the X server. The vulnerabilities are identified as CVE-2014-0209, CVE-2014-0210, and CVE-2014-0211

  script_tag(name:"insight", value:"Ilja van Sprundel of IOActive discovered several security issues in the X.Org libXfont library, which may allow a local, authenticated user to attempt to raise privileges, or a remote attacker who can control the font server to attempt to execute code with the privileges of the X server.

CVE-2014-0209

Integer overflow of allocations in font metadata file parsing could allow a local user who is already authenticated to the X server to overwrite other memory in the heap.

CVE-2014-0210

libxfont does not validate length fields when parsing xfs protocol replies allowing to write past the bounds of allocated memory when storing the returned data from the font server.

CVE-2014-0211

Integer overflows calculating memory needs for xfs replies could result in allocating too little memory and then writing the returned data from the font server past the end of the allocated buffer.

For the oldstable distribution (squeeze), these problems have been fixed in version 1:1.4.1-5.

For the stable distribution (wheezy), these problems have been fixed in version 1:1.4.5-4.

For the unstable distribution (sid), these problems have been fixed in version 1:1.4.7-2.

We recommend that you upgrade your libxfont packages.");
