Description:	Summary: The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'xorg-server' package(s) announced via the DLA-218-1 advisory. Vulnerability Insight: 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. Affected Software/OS: 'xorg-server' package(s) on Debian 6. Solution: Please install the updated package(s). CVSS Score: 6.4 CVSS Vector: AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:N/A:P
