Description:	Summary: The remote host is missing an update for the 'xorg-server' package(s) announced via the SSA:2017-227-01 advisory. Vulnerability Insight: New xorg-server packages are available for Slackware 13.0, 13.1, 13.37, 14.0, 14.1, 14.2, and -current to fix security issues. Here are the details from the Slackware 14.2 ChangeLog: +--------------------------+ patches/packages/xorg-server-1.18.3-i586-3_slack14.2.txz: Rebuilt. This update fixes two security issues: A user authenticated to an X Session could crash or execute code in the context of the X Server by exploiting a stack overflow in the endianness conversion of X Events. Uninitialized data in endianness conversion in the XEvent handling of the X.Org X Server allowed authenticated malicious users to access potentially privileged data from the X server.
