For the first advisory, I plan to update xfs to 1.0.5. This release just has a manpage fix and two security related commits vs. 1.0.4. This is simpler than applying the patches in the advisory since that would require the autotools regeneration, breaking the flow of the book.

For the second advisory, the patches will be applied to libXfont-1.2.8 and xorg-server-1.2.0, which are currently in the book.

I believe this issue should be closed at this time. Is there anything remaining of it?

No. I don't know why I didn't close it before.
