"A client of the X server using the X render extension is able to send requests that will cause a buffer overflow in the server side of the extension. This overflow can be exploited by an authorized client to execute malicious code inside the X server, which is generally running with root privileges. [...] X.Org 6.8.0 and later versions are vulnerable". Patches are available. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
