    Summary: Recommended update for libXfont

    Details: This update for libXfont fixes the following issues: - The original fix for CVE-2015-1804 prevented DWIDTH to be negative. However, the spec states that 'DWIDTH [...] is a vector indicating the position of the next glyph's origin relative to the origin of this glyph'. Consequently, negative DWIDTH values should be allowed. (bsc#958383)
