Integer overflow in the build_range function in X.Org X Font Server

(xfs) before 1.0.5 allows context-dependent attackers to execute

arbitrary code via (1) QueryXBitmaps and (2) QueryXExtents protocol

requests with crafted size values, which triggers a heap-based buffer

overflow. (CVE-2007-4568)

 

The swap_char2b function in X.Org X Font Server (xfs) before 1.0.5

allows context-dependent attackers to execute arbitrary code via (1)

QueryXBitmaps and (2) QueryXExtents protocol requests with crafted

size values that specify an arbitrary number of bytes to be swapped

on the heap, which triggers heap corruption. (CVE-2007-4990)

 

Updated package fixes these issues.
