Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
XFree86 versions prior to 4.2.0
Description
The issue is related to a buffer overflow in the fbglyph.c file, specifically with glyph clipping for large origins. This can be exploited by attackers to cause a denial of service and potentially gain privileges. The exploitation could occur through a large number of characters, possibly via the web page search form of KDE Konqueror or from an xterm command with a long title.
Recommendations
For XFree86 versions prior to 4.2.0, update to version 4.2.0 or later to resolve the issue.
