Description:
6
 
 The swap_char2b function in X.Org X Font Server (xfs) before 1.0.5 allows
7
 
 context-dependent attackers to execute arbitrary code via (1) QueryXBitmaps
8
 
 and (2) QueryXExtents protocol requests with crafted size values that
9
 
 specify an arbitrary number of bytes to be swapped on the heap, which
10
 
 triggers heap corruption.
