This update has been rated as having important security impact by the Red Hat Security Response Team.
XFree86 is an open source implementation of the X Window System. It provides the basic low-level functionality that full-fledged graphical user interfaces (GUIs) such as GNOME and KDE are designed upon.
Several integer overflow bugs were found in the way XFree86 parses pixmap images. It is possible for a user to gain elevated privileges by loading a specially crafted pixmap image. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CVE-2005-2495 to this issue.
Users of XFree86 should upgrade to these updated packages, which contain a backported patch and are not vulnerable to this issue.
