  • libxfont (1:1.4.4-1) unstable; urgency=high
    
      [ Julien Cristau ]
      * Drop Pre-Depends on x11-common (only needed for upgrades from the
        monolith) and Replaces on xlibs-static-dev (hasn't existed in forever).
    
      [ Cyril Brulebois ]
      * New upstream release:
        - LZW decompress: fix for CVE-2011-2895. From the commit message:
          “Specially crafted LZW stream can crash an application using libXfont
           that is used to open untrusted font files.  With X server, this may
           allow privilege escalation when exploited.”
      * Set urgency to “high” accordingly.
      * Update debian/copyright from upstream COPYING.
      * Bump xorg-sgml-doctools build-dep.
      * Drop xorg.css from .install, no longer shipped upstream.
