    CVE-2014-0211: integer overflow in fs_read_extent_info() from xorg/lib/libXfont commit c578408c1fd4db09e4e3173f8a9e65c81cc187c1
    
    fs_read_extent_info() parses a reply from the font server.
    The reply contains a 32bit number of elements field which is used
    to calculate a buffer length. There is an integer overflow in this
    calculation which can lead to memory corruption.
