MDVA-2009:005 : x11-server

high Nessus Plugin ID 36825

Synopsis

The remote Mandriva host is missing one or more security-related patches.

Description

This updated x11-server-xorg package provides the following fixes:

The OpenOffice.org application menu would trigger a bug in the X server's xkb cache code causing it to crash (segfault).

Fake key events generated by the XTest extension would not change the state of the keyboard leds. This would cause the numlock led to be inverted when the enable_X11_numlock program was used (Mandriva's default behaviour).

This update corrects both issues.

Solution

Update the affected package(s).
