The swap_char2b function in X.Org X Font Server (xfs) before 1.0.5 allows
context-dependent attackers to execute arbitrary code via (1) QueryXBitmaps
and (2) QueryXExtents protocol requests with crafted size values that
specify an arbitrary number of bytes to be swapped on the heap, which
triggers heap corruption.
