Debian GNU/Linux: DSA-2021:1234-1 Important: LibX11 Security Vulnerability

red hat
Calendar Grey October 6, 2000
Dist Redhat Esm H88
The weakness in Xsound enables unapproved users to alter file accessibility settings. Urgent patches are essential to maintain protection on Fedora systems.
Esound, the Gnome sound server, contains a race condition that a malicioususer could exploit to change permissions of any file owned by the esounduser.

Solution

For each RPM for your particular architecture, run:

rpm -Fvh [filename]

where filename is the name of the RPM.

All active Gnome sessions should also be restarted after the upgrade is applied.
