xf86/XFree86

    XFree86 is an open-source X Window System implementation that acts
    as a client-server-based API between different hardware components
    like display, mouse, keyboard and so on.
    Several buffer overflows were found in the fontfile code that handles
    a user-supplied "fonts.alias" file. The file is processed with root
    privileges and therefore a successful exploitation of these bugs leads
    to local root access.
