libXfont2 security updateSummary:

An update for libXfont2 is now available for openEuler-22.03-LTS-SP4,openEuler-24.03-LTS-SP1,openEuler-24.03-LTS-SP3,openEuler-24.03-LTS-SP4,openEuler-20.03-LTS-SP4Description:

libXfont provides the core of the legacy X11 font system, handling the index files (fonts.dir, fonts.alias, fonts.scale), the various font file formats, and rasterizing them. contains runtime library.

Security Fix(es):

A heap buffer overflow in BitmapScaleBitmaps in libXfont2 before 2.0.8 due to an overflowing 32bit size could be used by attackers able to access the X Server to execute code within the X server context.(CVE-2026-56001)

A heap buffer overflow in pcfReadFont() due to missing glyph bounds checking in libXfont2 before 2.0.8 allows attackers authenticated as X client to execute code within the X server.(CVE-2026-56002)

A heap buffer overflow due to missing size checking in the property buffer when parsing PCF files in libXfont2 ComputeScaledProperties() before libXfont2 2.0.8 could be used by attackers using authenticated X clients to execute code within the X server.(CVE-2026-56003)Topic:
