Slackware 10.1 / 10.2 / current : xorg server overflow (SSA:2006-123-01)

low Nessus Plugin ID 21342

Synopsis

The remote Slackware host is missing a security update.

Description

New xorg and xorg-devel packages are available for Slackware 10.1, 10.2, and -current to fix a security issue. A typo in the X render extension in X.Org 6.8.0 or later allows an X client to crash the server and possibly to execute arbitrary code as the X server user (typically this is 'root'.)

Solution

Update the affected x11 and / or x11-devel packages.
