Title:	Slackware: Security Advisory (SSA:2017-279-03)
Summary:	The remote host is missing an update for the 'xorg-server' package(s) announced via the SSA:2017-279-03 advisory.
Description:	Summary: The remote host is missing an update for the 'xorg-server' package(s) announced via the SSA:2017-279-03 advisory. Vulnerability Insight: New xorg-server packages are available for Slackware 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-i586-4_slack14.2.txz: Rebuilt. This update fixes two security issues: Xext/shm: Validate shmseg resource id, otherwise it can belong to a non-existing client and abort X server with FatalError 'client not in use', or overwrite existing segment of another existing client. Generating strings for XKB data used a single shared static buffer, which offered several opportunities for errors. Use a ring of resizable buffers instead, to avoid problems when strings end up longer than anticipated. For more information, see: [links moved to references] (* Security fix *) patches/packages/xorg-server-xephyr-1.18.3-i586-4_slack14.2.txz: Rebuilt. patches/packages/xorg-server-xnest-1.18.3-i586-4_slack14.2.txz: Rebuilt. patches/packages/xorg-server-xvfb-1.18.3-i586-4_slack14.2.txz: Rebuilt. +--------------------------+ Affected Software/OS: 'xorg-server' package(s) on Slackware 14.0, Slackware 14.1, Slackware 14.2, Slackware current. Solution: Please install the updated package(s). CVSS Score: 4.6 CVSS Vector: AV:L/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P
