Olivier Fourdan discovered that missing input validation in the Xserver’s handling of XkbSetGeometry requests may result in an information leak or denial of service.
This upload to Debian squeeze-lts fixes the issue by not swapping XkbSetGeometry data in the input buffer any more and checking strings’ length against request size.
NOTE: Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the DLA security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.
