CVE-2014-0210
Multiple buffer overflows in X.Org libXfont before 1.4.8 and 1.4.9x before 1.4.99.901 allow remote font servers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted xfs protocol reply to the (1) _fs_recv_conn_setup, (2) fs_read_open_font, (3) fs_read_query_info, (4)…
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (4.54%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
