XFree86 xkbmap parameter buffer overflow

XFree86 versions 3.3.5 and 3.3.6 have been found to contain a buffer
overflow in the xkbmap command-line switch.  An attacker can execute
arbitrary code as root, since XFree86 runs either with setuid
permissions, or via a wrapper that is setuid.

No patches have been made available. Version 4.0.0 is reported to be
fixed.
