(#494671) * Mon Jun 04 2007 Adam Jackson <[email protected]> 1.3.0-8.1 sauron.deepsoft.com% rpm -q --changelog xorg-x11-server-Xorg | head -30 * Thu Dec 11 2014 Johnny Hughes <[email protected]> 1.1.1-48.107.el5.centos - Roll in CentOS Branding * Wed Dec 10 2014 Adam Jackson <[email protected]> 1.1.1-48.107 - CVE-2014-8091 denial of service due to unchecked malloc in client authentication (#1168680) - CVE-2014-8092 integer overflow in X11 core protocol requests when calculating memory needs for requests (#1168684) - CVE-2014-8097 out of bounds access due to not validating length or offset values in DBE extension (#1168705) - CVE-2014-8095 out of bounds access due to not validating length or offset values in XInput extension (#1168694) - CVE-2014-8096 out of bounds access due to not validating length or offset values in XC-MISC extension(#1168700) - CVE-2014-8099 out of bounds access due to not validating length or offset values in XVideo extension (#1168710) - CVE-2014-8100 out of bounds access due to not validating length or offset values in Render extension (#1168711) - CVE-2014-8102 out of bounds access due to not validating length or offset values in XFixes extension (#1168714) - CVE-2014-8101 out of bounds access due to not validating length or offset values in RandR extension (#1168713) - CVE-2014-8093 xorg-x11-server: integer overflow in GLX extension requests when calculating memory needs for requests (#1168688) - CVE-2014-8098 xorg-x11-server: out of bounds access due to not validating length or offset values in GLX extension (#1168707) * Tue Mar 25 2014 Adam Jackson <[email protected]> 1.1.1-48.104 - xserver-1.1.1-randr-config-timestamps.patch: Backport timestamp comparison fix from upstream RANDR code (#1006076) So, no, it is not really an Xorg from 2006. It just has the same version and API as the Xorg from 2006, bug and security fixes have been backported. I use a distro with long term support. *I* have better things to do than spend all of my time dealing with incompatible updates every few months. > > Cheers, > Thomas > > > -- Robert Heller -- 978-544-6933 Deepwoods Software -- Custom Software Services http://www.deepsoft.com/ -- Linux Administration Services [email protected] -- Webhosting Services _______________________________________________ [email protected]: X.Org support Archives: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg Info: http://lists.x.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg Your subscription address: %(user_address)s
