   Subject: [PATCH] Avoid use-after-free in dix/dixfonts.c: doImageText()

   Save a pointer to the passed in closure structure before copying it
   and overwriting the *c pointer to point to our copy instead of the
   original.  If we hit an error, once we free(c), reset c to point to
   the original structure before jumping to the cleanup code that
   references *c.

   Since one of the errors being checked for is whether the server was
   able to malloc(c->nChars * itemSize), the client can potentially pass
   a number of characters chosen to cause the malloc to fail and the
   error path to be taken, resulting in the read from freed memory.

   Since the memory is accessed almost immediately afterwards, and the
   X server is mostly single threaded, the odds of the free memory having
   invalid contents are low with most malloc implementations when not using
   memory debugging features, but some allocators will definitely overwrite
   the memory there, leading to a likely crash.
