libXfont2: Fix of 2 CVEs
- CVE-2026-59679: validate num_chars against the encoding array size in fs_read_glyphs() in src/fc/fserve.c; prevents an out-of-bounds read/write on encoding[] when a font server sends more glyphs than extents (upstream commit 668fea81f40bcb48ec67fb55d0b851049d265290) - CVE-2026-44950: bounds-check cumulative glyph data writes in fs_read_glyphs() in src/fc/fserve.c; prevents a heap buffer overflow from overlapping source offsets whose total length exceeds the allocated bitmap buffer (upstream commit c2d222bb22c623d8a40f3275077fc7e6617f2c8a)
