Topic

Updated X.org packages that address a flaw in the way the X.Org X11 xfs
font server starts are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.

This update has been rated as having moderate security impact by the Red
Hat Security Response Team.

Description

The X.Org X11 xfs font server provides a standard mechanism for an X server

packages, which contain a backported patch and are not vulnerable to this
issue.
