Synopsis:          Important: libXfont security update
Advisory ID:       SLSA-2014:0018-1
Issue Date:        2014-01-10
CVE Numbers:       CVE-2013-6462
--

A stack-based buffer overflow flaw was found in the way the libXfont
library parsed Glyph Bitmap Distribution Format (BDF) fonts. A malicious,
local user could exploit this issue to potentially execute arbitrary code
with the privileges of the X.Org server. (CVE-2013-6462)

All running X.Org server instances must be restarted for the update to
take effect.
