CVE-2026-55999

A flaw was found in the glamorfontget function of the xorg-x11-server. This vulnerability, a heap buffer overflow, occurs when the server processes a specially crafted PCF font file where individual glyph metrics exceed the declared maximum bounds. An authenticated X client can exploit this by...

CVE-2026-56002

A flaw was found in libXfont2. A specially crafted PCF Portable Compiled Format font file, when processed by libXfont2, can lead to a buffer overflow. This occurs because the font parsing process does not properly validate the size of a bitmap buffer against the glyph metrics provided in the...

xorg-x11-server: xorg-x11-server-Xwayland: xorg-x11-server: stack buffer overflow in font alias resolution due to libXfont2 name length mismatch

A stack-based buffer overflow flaw was found in the X.Org X server and Xwayland. A mismatch between the X server and the libXfont2 library's maximum font name length can cause a stack buffer overflow during font alias resolution. The server allocates a 256 byte stack buffer but libXfont2's alias...

BIT-PILLOW-2026-54060 Pillow: `FontFile.compile()`: `Image.new()` called without `_decompression_bomb_check()`

Pillow is a Python imaging library. Prior to 12.3.0, PIL/FontFile.py FontFile.compile assembled per-glyph images into a combined bitmap with Image.new"1", xsize, ysize without calling Image.decompressionbombcheck, allowing a font to trigger excessive allocation during conversion or saving. This...

BIT-PILLOW-2026-54059 Pillow: PcfFontFile._load_bitmaps()`: `Image.frombytes()` called without `_decompression_bomb_check()` — bomb protection bypass via PCF font loading

Pillow is a Python imaging library. Prior to 12.3.0, PIL/PcfFontFile.py loadbitmaps read glyph dimensions from the PCF METRICS section and passed them directly to Image.frombytes without calling Image.decompressionbombcheck, allowing crafted PCF font data to cause excessive memory allocation. Thi...
