buffer overflow in XFree

For those of you using still xfs theres an possible buffer overflow in the 
XFree font libraries.

The fix is to disable the SUID bit for XFree but I think this is realls bad as 
you can't access some devices and some files anymore which makes XFree slow. 
(Remember the discussion bout /tmp/.ICE-unix) So disabling xfs and using the 
internal font rendering engine might be a better fix.
