Fedora: 2015-11244 Critical: nx-libs Security Fix for Network Performance

fedora
Calendar Grey July 30, 2015
Dist Fedora Esm H88
The recent upgrade to nx-libs 3.5.0.32 significantly boosts both security and efficiency on Fedora 22, addressing vital vulnerabilities and improving compilation processes.
Update to nx-libs 3.5.0.32: - Proper integration of all patches in the source tarballs

Summary

NX is a software suite which implements very efficient compression of

the X11 protocol. This increases performance when using X

applications over a network, especially a slow one.

This package provides the core nx-X11 libraries customized for

nxagent/x2goagent.

Update Information:

Update to nx-libs 3.5.0.32:

- Proper integration of all patches in the source tarballs. Bugs in the tarball generation script and patch file names prohibited inclusion of many patches previously, including security fixes. - Better support for debug (DEBUG, TEST, TRACE and other directives) builds, in part thanks to Nito Martinez. - Build fixes due to underlinking of libdl thanks to Bernard Cafarelli. - Retroactively document correct GPLv2 licensing of previously potentially offending DXPC code. - Help text fixups. - Restart reading if interrupted, gets rid of "Negotiation in stage 10" errors thanks to Vadim Troshchinskiy. - A dozen X.Org Server fixes backported by Ulrich Sibiller.


The X2Go Project thanks Bernard Cafarelli, Nito Martinez (Qindel Group), Vadim Troshchinskiy (Qindel Group) and Ulrich Sibiller for their contributions.
