+  <title>X Font Server: Multiple Vulnerabilities</title>
+  <synopsis>
+    Three vulnerabilities have been discovered in the X Font Server possibly
+    allowing local attackers to gain elevated privileges.

+    <package name="x11-apps/xfs" auto="yes" arch="*">
+      <unaffected range="ge">1.0.5</unaffected>

+  <background>
+    <p>
+    The X.Org X11 X Font Server provides a standard mechanism for an X
+    server to communicate with a font renderer.

+    iDefense reported that the xfs init script does not correctly handle a
+    race condition when setting permissions of a temporary file
+    (CVE-2007-3103). Sean Larsson discovered an integer overflow
+    vulnerability in the build_range() function possibly leading to a
+    heap-based buffer overflow when handling "QueryXBitmaps" and
+    "QueryXExtents" protocol requests (CVE-2007-4568). Sean Larsson also
+    discovered an error in the swap_char2b() function possibly leading to a
+    heap corruption when handling the same protocol requests
+    (CVE-2007-4990).
+    </p>

+  <impact type="high">
+    <p>
+    The first issue would allow a local attacker to change permissions of
+    arbitrary files to be world-writable by performing a symlink attack.
+    The second and third issues would allow a local attacker to execute
+    arbitrary code with privileges of the user running the X Font Server,
+    usually xfs.
+    </p>
+  </impact>
+  <workaround>
+    <p>
+    There is no known workaround at this time.
+    </p>
+  </workaround>
+  <resolution>
+    <p>
+    All X Font Server users should upgrade to the latest version:
+    </p>
+    <code>
+    # emerge --sync
+    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=x11-apps/xfs-1.0.5"</code>
+  </resolution>
