libXfont is vulnerable to denial of service. A stack-based buffer overflow occurs when the libXfont library parsed Glyph Bitmap Distribution Format (BDF) fonts with a long string in a character name. This allows a local attacker to crash the service or potentially execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the X.Org server.
