+  <title>LibXfont, monolithic X.org: Multiple integer overflows</title>
+  <synopsis>
+    Some buffer overflows were discovered in the CID font parser, potentially

+  <background>
+    <p>
+    libXfont is the X.Org Xfont library, some parts are based on the
+    FreeType code base.
+    </p>
+  </background>
+  <description>
+    <p>
+    Several integer overflows have been found in the CID font parser.
+    </p>
+  </description>
+  <impact type="high">
+    <p>
+    A remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability by enticing a user
+    to load a malicious font file resulting in the execution of arbitrary
+    code with the permissions of the user running the X server which
+    typically is the root user. A local user could exploit this
+    vulnerability to gain elevated privileges.
+    </p>
+  </impact>
+  <workaround>
+    <p>
+    Disable CID-encoded Type 1 fonts by removing the "type1" module and
+    replacing it with the "freetype" module in xorg.conf.
+    </p>
+  </workaround>
+  <resolution>
+    <p>
+    All libXfont users should upgrade to the latest version:
+    </p>
+    <code>
+    # emerge --sync
+    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=x11-libs/libXfont-1.2.1&quot;</code>
+    <p>
+    All monolithic X.org users are advised to migrate to modular X.org.
+    </p>
