 Affected: 2007.0, 2007.1, 2008.0

 Problem Description:
 
 A heap-based buffer overflow flaw was found in how the X.org server
 handled malformed font files that could allow a malicious local user
 to potentially execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the
 X.org server (CVE-2008-0006).
 
 The updated packages have been patched to correct this issue.
