Descriptions

Buffer overflow in (1) X.Org Xserver before 1.4.1, and (2) the libfont and libXfont libraries on some platforms including Sun Solaris, allows context-dependent attackers to execute arbitrary code via a PCF font with a large difference between the last col and first col values in the PCF_BDF_ENCODINGS table.

Un desbordamiento del búfer en (1) X.Org Xserver versiones anteriores a 1.4.1, y (2) las bibliotecas libfont y libXfont en algunas plataformas, incluyendo Sun Solaris, permite a atacantes dependiendo del contexto ejecutar código arbitrario por medio de una fuente PCF con una diferencia considerable entre los últimos y primeros valores col en la tabla PCF_BDF_ENCODINGS.
