RHSA-2026:55446
Vulnerability from csaf_redhat - Published: 2026-08-17 03:24 - Updated: 2026-09-01 12:22A flaw was found in the libXfont2 font-server client. This heap buffer overflow vulnerability allows a malicious font server to send specially crafted glyph data. The fs_read_glyphs() function fails to properly validate the total size of the incoming data, leading to an overwrite of memory beyond the intended buffer. If the X server runs as a privileged user, this could result in privilege escalation, allowing an attacker to gain higher access. If the X server runs as an unprivileged user, it could lead to a denial of service, causing the system to crash.

A flaw was found in the libXfont2 font-server client. A remote attacker, by operating a malicious font server, could exploit an out-of-bounds read/write vulnerability. This occurs because the client incorrectly handles font data, leading to an out-of-bounds memory access. This can lead to privilege escalation if the X server runs with root privileges, or a denial of service (crash) if it runs as an unprivileged user.

The fs_read_glyphs() function fails to properly validate the total size of the incoming data, leading to an overwrite of memory beyond the intended buffer. If the X server runs as a privileged user, this could result in privilege escalation, allowing an attacker to gain higher access. If the X server runs as an unprivileged user, it could lead to a denial of service, causing the system to crash.",

A remote attacker operating a malicious font server could exploit an out-of-bounds memory access in the font-server client.

RHSA-2026:59311
Vulnerability from csaf_redhat - Published: 2026-08-25 06:29 - Updated: 2026-09-01 12:22A flaw was found in the libXfont2 font-server client. This heap buffer overflow vulnerability allows a malicious font server to send specially crafted glyph data. The fs_read_glyphs() function fails to properly validate the total size of the incoming data, leading to an overwrite of memory beyond the intended buffer. If the X server runs as a privileged user, this could result in privilege escalation, allowing an attacker to gain higher access. If the X server runs as an unprivileged user, it could lead to a denial of service, causing the system to crash.

A flaw was found in the libXfont2 font-server client. A remote attacker, by operating a malicious font server, could exploit an out-of-bounds read/write vulnerability. This occurs because the client incorrectly handles font data, leading to an out-of-bounds memory access. This can lead to privilege escalation if the X server runs with root privileges, or a denial of service (crash) if it runs as an unprivileged user.

The fs_read_glyphs() function fails to properly validate the total size of the incoming data, leading to an overwrite of memory beyond the intended buffer. If the X server runs as a privileged user, this could result in privilege escalation, allowing an attacker to gain higher access. If the X server runs as an unprivileged user, it could lead to a denial of service, causing the system to crash.",

RHSA-2026:59312
Vulnerability from csaf_redhat - Published: 2026-08-25 06:53 - Updated: 2026-09-01 12:22A flaw was found in the libXfont2 font-server client. This heap buffer overflow vulnerability allows a malicious font server to send specially crafted glyph data. The fs_read_glyphs() function fails to properly validate the total size of the incoming data, leading to an overwrite of memory beyond the intended buffer. If the X server runs as a privileged user, this could result in privilege escalation, allowing an attacker to gain higher access. If the X server runs as an unprivileged user, it could lead to a denial of service, causing the system to crash.

A flaw was found in the libXfont2 font-server client. A remote attacker, by operating a malicious font server, could exploit an out-of-bounds read/write vulnerability. This occurs because the client incorrectly handles font data, leading to an out-of-bounds memory access. This can lead to privilege escalation if the X server runs with root privileges, or a denial of service (crash) if it runs as an unprivileged user.

The fs_read_glyphs() function fails to properly validate the total size of the incoming data, leading to an overwrite of memory beyond the intended buffer. If the X server runs as a privileged user, this could result in privilege escalation, allowing an attacker to gain higher access. If the X server runs as an unprivileged user, it could lead to a denial of service, causing the system to crash.",

RHSA-2026:61390
Vulnerability from csaf_redhat - Published: 2026-08-31 14:41 - Updated: 2026-09-01 12:22A flaw was found in the libXfont2 font-server client. This heap buffer overflow vulnerability allows a malicious font server to send specially crafted glyph data. The fs_read_glyphs() function fails to properly validate the total size of the incoming data, leading to an overwrite of memory beyond the intended buffer. If the X server runs as a privileged user, this could result in privilege escalation, allowing an attacker to gain higher access. If the X server runs as an unprivileged user, it could lead to a denial of service, causing the system to crash.

A flaw was found in the libXfont2 font-server client. A remote attacker, by operating a malicious font server, could exploit an out-of-bounds read/write vulnerability. This occurs because the client incorrectly handles font data, leading to an out-of-bounds memory access. This can lead to privilege escalation if the X server runs with root privileges, or a denial of service (crash) if it runs as an unprivileged user.

RHSA-2026:61755
Vulnerability from csaf_redhat - Published: 2026-08-31 17:48 - Updated: 2026-09-01 12:22A flaw was found in the libXfont2 font-server client. This heap buffer overflow vulnerability allows a malicious font server to send specially crafted glyph data. The fs_read_glyphs() function fails to properly validate the total size of the incoming data, leading to an overwrite of memory beyond the intended buffer. If the X server runs as a privileged user, this could result in privilege escalation, allowing an attacker to gain higher access. If the X server runs as an unprivileged user, it could lead to a denial of service, causing the system to crash.

A flaw was found in the libXfont2 font-server client. A remote attacker, by operating a malicious font server, could exploit an out-of-bounds read/write vulnerability. This occurs because the client incorrectly handles font data, leading to an out-of-bounds memory access. This can lead to privilege escalation if the X server runs with root privileges, or a denial of service (crash) if it runs as an unprivileged user.

If the X server runs as a privileged user, this could result in privilege escalation, allowing an attacker to gain higher access.

RHSA-2026:61756
Vulnerability from csaf_redhat - Published: 2026-08-31 17:51 - Updated: 2026-09-01 12:22A flaw was found in the libXfont2 font-server client. This heap buffer overflow vulnerability allows a malicious font server to send specially crafted glyph data. The fs_read_glyphs() function fails to properly validate the total size of the incoming data, leading to an overwrite of memory beyond the intended buffer. If the X server runs as a privileged user, this could result in privilege escalation, allowing an attacker to gain higher access. If the X server runs as an unprivileged user, it could lead to a denial of service, causing the system to crash.

The fs_read_glyphs() function fails to properly validate the total size of the incoming data, leading to an overwrite of memory beyond the intended buffer. If the X server runs as a privileged user, this could result in privilege escalation, allowing an attacker to gain higher access. If the X server runs as an unprivileged user, it could lead to a denial of service, causing the system to crash.",

RHSA-2026:61995
Vulnerability from csaf_redhat - Published: 2026-09-01 12:22 - Updated: 2026-09-01 14:16A flaw was found in the libXfont2 font-server client. This heap buffer overflow vulnerability allows a malicious font server to send specially crafted glyph data. The fs_read_glyphs() function fails to properly validate the total size of the incoming data, leading to an overwrite of memory beyond the intended buffer. If the X server runs as a privileged user, this could result in privilege escalation, allowing an attacker to gain higher access. If the X server runs as an unprivileged user, it could lead to a denial of service, causing the system to crash.

A flaw was found in the libXfont2 font-server client. A remote attacker, by operating a malicious font server, could exploit an out-of-bounds read/write vulnerability. This occurs because the client incorrectly handles font data, leading to an out-of-bounds memory access. This can lead to privilege escalation if the X server runs with root privileges, or a denial of service (crash) if it runs as an unprivileged user.

RHSA-2026:55447
Vulnerability from csaf_opensuse - Published: 2026-08-17 06:08 - Updated: 2026-09-01 12:22A flaw was found in the libXfont2 font-server client. This heap buffer overflow vulnerability allows a malicious font server to send specially crafted glyph data. The fs_read_glyphs() function fails to properly validate the total size of the incoming data, leading to an overwrite of memory beyond the intended buffer. If the X server runs as a privileged user, this could result in privilege escalation, allowing an attacker to gain higher access. If the X server runs as an unprivileged user, it could lead to a denial of service, causing the system to crash.

A flaw was found in the libXfont2 font-server client. A remote attacker, by operating a malicious font server, could exploit an out-of-bounds read/write vulnerability. This occurs because the client incorrectly handles font data, leading to an out-of-bounds memory access. This can lead to privilege escalation if the X server runs with root privileges, or a denial of service (crash) if it runs as an unprivileged user.

RHSA-2026:55448
Vulnerability from csaf_opensuse - Published: 2026-08-17 04:19 - Updated: 2026-09-01 12:22A flaw was found in the libXfont2 font-server client. This heap buffer overflow vulnerability allows a malicious font server to send specially crafted glyph data. The fs_read_glyphs() function fails to properly validate the total size of the incoming data, leading to an overwrite of memory beyond the intended buffer. If the X server runs as a privileged user, this could result in privilege escalation, allowing an attacker to gain higher access. If the X server runs as an unprivileged user, it could lead to a denial of service, causing the system to crash.

A flaw was found in the libXfont2 font-server client. A remote attacker, by operating a malicious font server, could exploit an out-of-bounds read/write vulnerability. This occurs because the client incorrectly handles font data, leading to an out-of-bounds memory access. This can lead to privilege escalation if the X server runs with root privileges, or a denial of service (crash) if it runs as an unprivileged user.

The fs_read_glyphs() function fails to properly validate the total size of the incoming data, leading to an overwrite of memory beyond the intended buffer. If the X server runs as a privileged user, this could result in privilege escalation, allowing an attacker to gain higher access. If the X server runs as an unprivileged user, it could lead to a denial of service, causing the system to crash.",

This occurs because the client incorrectly handles font data, leading to an out-of-bounds memory access. This can lead to privilege escalation if the X server runs with root privileges, or a denial of service (crash) if it runs as an unprivileged user.",

A remote attacker operating a malicious font server could exploit an out-of-bounds memory access in the font-server client.
