CentOS Update for libXfont CESA-2011:1154 centos5 x86_64. The libXfont packages provide the X.Org libXfont runtime library. A buffer overflow flaw was found in the way the libXfont library handled font files compressed using UNIX compress. Users of libXfont should upgrade to these updated packages, which contain a backported patch to resolve this issue. All running X.Org server instances must be restarted for the update to take effect
