Subject: Updated: libXfont-1.4.8-1 [SECURITY]
Date: Fri, 16 May 2014 22:08:00 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <53768B7F.9070604@users.sourceforge.net> (raw)

The following packages have been added or updated in the Cygwin 
distribution:

* libXfont1-1.4.8-1
* libXfont-devel-1.4.8-1

libXfont provides the core of the legacy X11 font system, handling the 
index files (fonts.dir, fonts.alias, fonts.scale), the various font file 
formats, and rasterizing them.   It is used by the X servers, the X Font 
Server (xfs), and some font utilities (namely bdftopcf), but should not 
be used by normal X11 clients.  X11 clients access fonts via either the 
new APIs in libXft, or the legacy APIs in libX11.

This update fixes CVE-2014-0209, CVE-2014-0210, and CVE-2014-0211 as 
described here:
