Tue Aug 15 22:16:12 UTC 2017

  • patches/packages/xorg-server-1.7.7-x86_64-4_slack13.1.txz
    This update fixes two security issues:
    A user authenticated to an X Session could crash or execute code in the
    context of the X Server by exploiting a stack overflow in the endianness
    conversion of X Events.
    Uninitialized data in endianness conversion in the XEvent handling of the
    X.Org X Server allowed authenticated malicious users to access potentially
    privileged data from the X server.
