|---|---|---|---|
| 2017-12-01 | CVE-2017-16611 | Link Following vulnerability in multiple products In libXfont before 1.5.4 and libXfont2 before 2.0.3, a local attacker can open (but not read) files on the system as root, triggering tape rewinds, watchdogs, or similar mechanisms that can be triggered by opening files. | 4.9 |
| 2015-03-20 | CVE-2015-1804 | Numeric Errors vulnerability in X Libxfont The bdfReadCharacters function in bitmap/bdfread.c in X.Org libXfont before 1.4.9 and 1.5.x before 1.5.1 does not properly perform type conversion for metrics values, which allows remote authenticated users to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds memory access) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted BDF font file. | 8.5 |
| 2015-03-20 | CVE-2015-1803 | Local Denial of Service vulnerability in X.Org libXfont 'bitmap/bdfread.c' The bdfReadCharacters function in bitmap/bdfread.c in X.Org libXfont before 1.4.9 and 1.5.x before 1.5.1 does not properly handle character bitmaps it cannot read, which allows remote authenticated users to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted BDF font file. | 8.5 |
| 2015-03-20 | CVE-2015-1802 | Improper Restriction of Operations within the Bounds of a Memory Buffer vulnerability in X Libxfont The bdfReadProperties function in bitmap/bdfread.c in X.Org libXfont before 1.4.9 and 1.5.x before 1.5.1 allows remote authenticated users to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds write and crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a (1) negative or (2) large property count in a BDF font file. | 8.5 |
