Category:FreeBSD Local Security Checks
Title:FreeBSD Ports: libXfont
Summary:The remote host is missing an update to the system; as announced in the referenced advisory.
Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update to the system
as announced in the referenced advisory.

Vulnerability Insight:
The following package is affected: libXfont

CVE-2011-2895
The LZW decompressor in (1) the BufCompressedFill function in
fontfile/decompress.c in X.Org libXfont before 1.4.4 and (2)
compress/compress.c in 4.3BSD, as used in zopen.c in OpenBSD before
3.8, FreeBSD, NetBSD, FreeType 2.1.9, and other products, does not
properly handle code words that are absent from the decompression
table when encountered, which allows context-dependent attackers to
trigger an infinite loop or a heap-based buffer overflow, and possibly
execute arbitrary code, via a crafted compressed stream, a related
issue to CVE-2006-1168 and CVE-2011-2896.

Solution:
Update your system with the appropriate patches or
software upgrades.
