A vulnerability has been discovered and corrected in libxfont :

Stack-based buffer overflow in the bdfReadCharacters function in bitmap/bdfread.c in X.Org libXfont 1.1 through 1.4.6 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a long string in a character name in a BDF font file (CVE-2013-6462).

The updated packages have been patched to correct this issue.
