Package : libxfont
CVE ID : CVE-2015-1802 CVE-2015-1803 CVE-2015-1804

Ilja van Sprundel, Alan Coopersmith and William Robinet discovered
multiple issues in libxfont's code to process BDF fonts, which might
result in privilege escalation.

For the stable distribution (wheezy), these problems have been fixed in
version 1.4.5-5.

For the unstable distribution (sid), these problems will be fixed soon.

We recommend that you upgrade your libxfont packages.
