    An update that fixes two vulnerabilities is now available.

    Description:

    DirectFB was updated to fix two security issues.

    The following vulnerabilities were fixed:

    * CVE-2014-2977: Multiple integer signedness errors could allow remote
    attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute
    arbitrary code via the Voodoo interface, which triggers a stack-based
    buffer overflow.
    * CVE-2014-2978: Remote attackers could cause a denial of service (crash)
    and possibly execute arbitrary code via the Voodoo interface, which
    triggers an out-of-bounds write.
