The remote host is missing updates announced in
advisory RHSA-2003:065.
XFree86 is an implementation of the X Window System, which provides the
graphical user interface, video drivers, etc. for Linux systems.
A number of security vulnerabilities have been found and fixed. In
addition, various other bug fixes, driver updates, and other enhancements
have been made.
Security fixes have been made available for Xterm, xdm, the MIT-SHM
extension of the X server, and permissions of the /dev/dri directory.
Driver updates and other fixes:
Updates have been provided to the Rage128 (r128) video driver,
ATI Radeon video driver (radeon), S3 Savage driver (savage).
A long-standing XFree86 bug has been fixed. This bug occurs when any form
of system clock skew (such as NTP clock synchronization, APM suspend/resume
cycling on laptops, daylight savings time changeover, or even manually
setting the system clock forward or backward) could result in odd
application behavior, mouse and keyboard lockups, or even an X server hang
or crash.
Users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which contain
XFree86 version 4.1.0 with patches correcting these issues.
Solution:
Please note that this update is available via
Red Hat Network. To use Red Hat Network, launch the Red
Hat Update Agent with the following command: up2date
