Scroller Slackware
Updated X.Org server packages for Slackware address potential integer overflow vulnerabilities in image processing, enhancing security against unauthorized code execution.
New X.Org server packages are available for Slackware 10.0, 10.1, 10.2, and -current to fix a security issue

Summary

Here are the details from the Slackware 10.2 ChangeLog: patches/packages/x11-6.8.2-i486-4.tgz: Rebuilt with a modified patch for an earlier pixmap overflow issue. The patch released by X.Org was slightly different than the one that was circulated previously, and is an improved version. There have been reports that the earlier patch broke WINE and possibly some other programs. For more information, see: https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CAN-2005-2495 (* Security fix *) patches/packages/x11-xdmx-6.8.2-i486-4.tgz: Patched and rebuilt. patches/packages/x11-xnest-6.8.2-i486-4.tgz: Patched and rebuilt. patches/packages/x11-xvfb-6.8.2-i486-4.tgz: Patched and rebuilt.
