+	  <p>Ilja van Sprundel, a security researcher with IOActive, has
+	    discovered several issues in the way the libXfont library
+	    handles the responses it receives from xfs servers, and has
+	    worked with X.Org's security team to analyze, confirm, and fix
+	    these issues.</p>
+	  <p>Most of these issues stem from libXfont trusting the font server
+	    to send valid protocol data, and not verifying that the values
+	    will not overflow or cause other damage.  This code is commonly
+	    called from the X server when an X Font Server is active in the
+	    font path, so may be running in a setuid-root process depending
+	    on the X server in use.  Exploits of this path could be used by
+	    a local, authenticated user to attempt to raise privileges; or
+	    by a remote attacker who can control the font server to attempt
+	    to execute code with the privileges of the X server.</p>
