<define-tag description>LTS security update</define-tag>
<define-tag moreinfo>
<p>It was discovered that there two vulnerabilities the library providing
font selection and rasterisation, libxfont:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/CVE-2017-13720">CVE-2017-13720</a>
<p>If a pattern contained a '?' character any character
in the string is skipped even if it was a '\0'. The rest of the
matching then read invalid memory.</p></li>
<li><a href="https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/CVE-2017-13722">CVE-2017-13722</a>
<p>A malformed PCF file could cause the library to make
reads from random heap memory that was behind the `strings` buffer,
leading to an application crash or a information leak.</p></li>
</ul>
<p>For Debian 7 <q>Wheezy</q>, this issue has been fixed in libxfont version
1:1.4.5-5+deb7u1.</p>
<p>We recommend that you upgrade your libxfont packages.</p>
