Description: The libXfont packages provide the X.Org libXfont runtime library. X.Org is an open source implementation of the X Window System. A use-after-free flaw was found in the way libXfont processed certain font files when attempting to add a new directory to the font path. A malicious, local user could exploit this issue to potentially execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the X.Org server. (CVE-2014-0209) Multiple out-of-bounds write flaws were found in the way libXfont parsed replies received from an X.org font server. A malicious X.org server could cause an X client to crash or, possibly, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the X.Org server. (CVE-2014-0210, CVE-2014-0211) Red Hat would like to thank the X.org project for reporting these issues. Upstream acknowledges Ilja van Sprundel as the original reporter. 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. 4. Solution: Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata relevant to your system have been applied. This update is available via the Red Hat Network. Details on how to use the Red Hat Network to apply this update are available at https://access.redhat.com/articles/11258 5. Bugs fixed (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/): 1096593 - CVE-2014-0209 libXfont: integer overflow of allocations in font metadata file parsing 1096597 - CVE-2014-0210 libXfont: unvalidated length fields when parsing xfs protocol replies 1096601 - CVE-2014-0211 libXfont: integer overflows calculating memory needs for xfs replies 6.
