MDVSA-2015:223: directfb

Updated directfb packages fix security vulnerabilities:

Multiple integer signedness errors in the Dispatch_Write function
in proxy/dispatcher/idirectfbsurface_dispatcher.c in DirectFB 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-2014-2977).

The Dispatch_Write function in
proxy/dispatcher/idirectfbsurface_dispatcher.c in DirectFB allows
remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly
execute arbitrary code via the Voodoo interface, which triggers an
out-of-bounds write (CVE-2014-2978).
