--- Doc Text *updated* ---
An integer overflow flaw was found in the way libXfont processed certain Glyph Bitmap Distribution Format (BDF) fonts. A malicious, local user could exploit this issue to crash the X.Org server or potentially execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the X.Org server.
