Description:
9
 
 The bdfReadCharacters function in bitmap/bdfread.c in X.Org libXfont before
10
 
 1.4.9 and 1.5.x before 1.5.1 does not properly handle character bitmaps it
11
 
 cannot read, which allows remote authenticated users to cause a denial of
12
 
 service (NULL pointer dereference and crash) and possibly execute arbitrary
13
 
 code via a crafted BDF font file.
