Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.57517
Category:Ubuntu Local Security Checks
Title:Ubuntu USN-364-1 (xinit)
Summary:NOSUMMARY
Description:Description:

The remote host is missing an update to xinit
announced via advisory USN-364-1.

A security issue affects the following Ubuntu releases:

Ubuntu 5.10
Ubuntu 6.06 LTS

This advisory also applies to the corresponding versions of
Kubuntu, Edubuntu, and Xubuntu.

A race condition existed that would allow other local users to see error
messages generated during another user's X session. This could allow
potentially sensitive information to be leaked.

Solution:
The problem can be corrected by upgrading your system to the
following package versions:

Ubuntu 5.10:
xinit 1.0+0.99.1-4ubuntu0.1

Ubuntu 6.06 LTS:
xinit 1.0.1-0ubuntu3.1

After a standard system upgrade you need to restart your session to
effect the necessary changes.
