Does anyone have any more information then here?
http://lists.x.org/archives/xorg-announce/2015-September/002637.html

There is no information I could find (although a quick search) on what the vulnerability is.

You can find more details in the commit message:
    http://cgit.freedesktop.org/pixman/commit/?id=8b49d4b6b460d0c9299bca4ccddd7cd00d8f8441
And in the original bugreport at
    https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=92027#c6

This can lead to at least a DoS on 32-bit x86 systems with ASLR disabled (maybe other configurations could be affected too) or even potential arbitrary code execution. I'm not aware of any real exploits or even PoC exploits, but this bug looked serious enough and had been fixed as soon as it was discovered.

Hope this helps.
Comment 11 Yury German Gentoo Infrastructure gentoo-dev 2015-12-24 00:02:36 UTC
Yes this helps a lot thank you!

We need to reverse stable on ia64, as that was never stable, and was made stable as part of this stabilization.

Sorry should of been more clear - for Version: 0.33.4 Only. Not for 0.32.8 (that was stable)
Comment 13 Agostino Sarubbo gentoo-dev 2016-01-11 09:40:42 UTC
done for ia64
Comment 14 Yury German Gentoo Infrastructure gentoo-dev 2016-01-26 02:01:53 UTC
Cleanup still needed. Please remove unstable 0.33.2
Comment 15 Matt Turner gentoo-dev 2016-01-26 04:12:05 UTC
