Updated: libXfont-1.4.8-1 [SECURITY]


The following packages have been added or updated in the Cygwin distribution:

* libXfont1-1.4.8-1
* libXfont-devel-1.4.8-1

libXfont provides the core of the legacy X11 font system, handling the index files (fonts.dir, fonts.alias, fonts.scale), the various font file formats, and rasterizing them. It is used by the X servers, the X Font Server (xfs), and some font utilities (namely bdftopcf), but should not be used by normal X11 clients. X11 clients access fonts via either the new APIs in libXft, or the legacy APIs in libX11.

This update fixes CVE-2014-0209, CVE-2014-0210, and CVE-2014-0211 as described here:
