Slackwarearm-14.2 ChangeLog (2017-10-06)

Fri Oct 06 08:08:08 UTC 2017

  • patches/packages/xorg-server-1.18.3-arm-4.txz
    This update fixes two security issues:
    Xext/shm: Validate shmseg resource id, otherwise it can belong to a
    non-existing client and abort X server with FatalError “client not
    in use”, or overwrite existing segment of another existing client.
    Generating strings for XKB data used a single shared static buffer,
    which offered several opportunities for errors. Use a ring of
    resizable buffers instead, to avoid problems when strings end up
    longer than anticipated.
