   https://lists.debian.org/debian-lts-announce/2018/08/msg00030.html

Comment: This advisory references vulnerabilities in products which run on 
         platforms other than Debian. It is recommended that administrators 
         running libx11 check for an updated version of the software for 
         their operating system.

Package        : libx11
Version        : 2:1.6.2-3+deb8u2
CVE ID         : CVE-2018-14598 CVE-2018-14599 CVE-2018-14600

Several issues were discovered in libx11, the client interface to the
X Windows System. The functions XGetFontPath, XListExtensions, and
XListFonts are vulnerable to an off-by-one override on malicious
server responses. A malicious server could also send a reply in which
the first string overflows, causing a variable set to NULL that will
be freed later on, leading to a segmentation fault and Denial of
Service. The function XListExtensions in ListExt.c interprets a
variable as signed instead of unsigned, resulting in an out-of-bounds
write (of up to 128 bytes), leading to a Denial of Service or possibly
remote code execution.

For Debian 8 "Jessie", these problems have been fixed in version
2:1.6.2-3+deb8u2.

We recommend that you upgrade your libx11 packages.
