Security update for libXfont (important)

libXFont was updated to fix three vulnerabilities when parsing BDF files bnc921978 As libXfont is used by the X server to read font files, and an unprivileged user with access to the X server can tell the X server to read a given font file from a path of their choosing, these vulnerabilities have...

Updated libxfont package fixes security vulnerabilities

The bdf parser reads a count for the number of properties defined in a font from the font file, and allocates arrays with entries for each property based on that count. It never checked to see if that count was negative, or large enough to overflow when multiplied by the size of the structures...

X.Org libXfont bitmap/bdfread.c out-of-bounds write denial of service vulnerability

X.Org is an official reference implementation of the X Window System operated by the X.Org Foundation and is open source free software. libXfont is an X font handling library for servers and utilities. A security vulnerability exists in the 'bdfReadProperties' function in the bitmap/bdfread.c fil...

DEBIAN-CVE-2015-1804

The bdfReadCharacters function in bitmap/bdfread.c in X.Org libXfont before 1.4.9 and 1.5.x before 1.5.1 does not properly perform type conversion for metrics values, which allows remote authenticated users to cause a denial of service out-of-bounds memory access and possibly execute arbitrary co...

CVE-2015-1803

The bdfReadCharacters function in bitmap/bdfread.c in X.Org libXfont before 1.4.9 and 1.5.x before 1.5.1 does not properly handle character bitmaps it cannot read, which allows remote authenticated users to cause a denial of service NULL pointer dereference and crash and possibly execute arbitrar...
