Package: libxfont1
Version: 1:1.0.0-4
Severity: grave
Tags: security patch
Justification: user security hole
>From http://secunia.com/advisories/20100/:
A vulnerability has been reported in libXfont, which can be exploited by
malicious people to cause a DoS (Denial of Service) and potentially compromise
an application using the library.
The vulnerability is caused due to integer overflows within the PCF font file
parser. This can potentially be exploited to cause a heap-based buffer overflow
via a specially crafted font file.
