Title:RHSA-2007:0520: xorg-x11-xfs security update (Moderate)
Description:The X.Org X11 xfs font server provides a standard mechanism for an X server to communicate with a font renderer.

  • A temporary file flaw was found in the way the X.Org X11 xfs font server startup script executes. A local user could modify the permissions of a file of their choosing, possibly elevating their local privileges. (CVE-2007-3103)

    Users of the X.org X11 xfs font server should upgrade to these updated packages, which contain a backported patch and are not vulnerable to this issue.
