"regenrecht" discovered that missing input sanitising within
the XFree86-Misc extension may lead to local privilege escalation.

It was discovered that error messages of security policy file
handling may lead to a minor information leak disclosing the
existance of files otherwise unaccessible to the user.
CVE-2007-6427
"regenrecht" discovered that missing input sanitising within
the XInput-Misc extension may lead to local privilege escalation.
CVE-2007-6428

the TOG-CUP extension may lead to disclosure of memory contents.
CVE-2007-6429
"regenrecht" discovered that integer overflows in the EVI
and MIT-SHM extensions may lead to local privilege escalation.
CVE-2008-0006
It was discovered that insufficient validation of PCF fonts could lead
to local privilege escalation.
For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem has been fixed in
version 2:1.4.1~git20080118-1 of xorg-server and version 1:1.3.1-2
of libxfont.
For the stable distribution (etch), this problem has been fixed in
version 1.1.1-21etch3 or xorg-server and 1.2.2-2.etch1 of libxfont.
For the oldstable distribution (etch), this problem has been fixed in
version 4.3.0.dfsg.1-14sarge6 of xfree86.
We recommend that you upgrade your libxfont abd xorg-server packages.
