[slackware-security]  libXfont (SSA:2017-333-02)

New libXfont packages are available for Slackware 13.0, 13.1, 13.37, 14.0,
14.1, and 14.2 to fix a security issue.


Here are the details from the Slackware 14.2 ChangeLog:
+--------------------------+
patches/packages/libXfont-1.5.1-i486-2_slack14.2.txz:  Rebuilt.
  Open files with O_NOFOLLOW. (CVE-2017-16611)
  A non-privileged X client can instruct X server running under root
  to open any file by creating own directory with "fonts.dir",
  "fonts.alias" or any font file being a symbolic link to any other
  file in the system. X server will then open it. This can be issue
  with special files such as /dev/watchdog (which could then reboot
  the system).
  For more information, see:
    http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2017-16611
  (* Security fix *)
