RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Comment 1 Tomas Pelka 2015-07-10 13:10:06 UTC 
XTS build just fine with rhel6.7 and rhel6.6, last time (week ago) I checked.
Comment 2 Peter Hutterer 2015-07-13 06:28:48 UTC 
reproduced on xorg-x11-font-utils-7.5-18.1.el7.x86_64, so the culprit is libXfont (works with libXfont-1.4.7-2.el7_0.x86_64)
Comment 3 Peter Hutterer 2015-07-13 07:02:38 UTC 
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/lib/libXfont/commit/?id=2351c83a77a478b49cba6beb2ad386835e264744

added the check for non-negative width. xtfont4 and xtfont6 are both fonts with variable width, reverse which probably explains the negative width. introduced by the fixes for Bug 1203719
Comment 4 Benjamin Tissoires 2015-07-13 17:31:56 UTC 
Actually, libXfont-1.5.1-1.el7 already contains the fix for CVE-2015-1804. So removing the dep.

I can not compile XTS under F22 either, so I will need to investigate a little bit more.
