This update has been rated as having important security impact by the Red Hat Security Response Team.
The libXfont package contains the X.Org X11 libXfont runtime library.
A heap based buffer overflow flaw was found in the way the X.Org server handled malformed font files. A malicious local user could exploit this issue to potentially execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the X.Org server. (CVE-2008-0006)
Users of X.Org libXfont should upgrade to these updated packages, which contain a backported patch to resolve this issue.
