Debian DLA-684-2 : libx11 regression update

high Nessus Plugin ID 94298

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security update.

Description

A possible invalid free was introduced in libx11 2:1.5.0-1+deb7u3, which could lead to application crashes or other issues.

For Debian 7 'Wheezy', these problems have been fixed in version 2:1.5.0-1+deb7u4.

We recommend that you upgrade your libx11 packages.

NOTE: Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the DLA security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Solution

Upgrade the affected packages.
