news 28 Posted April 20, 2013 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 [slackware-security] xorg-server (SSA:2013-109-01) New xorg-server packages are available for Slackware 13.37, 14.0, and -current to fix a security issue. Here are the details from the Slackware 14.0 ChangeLog: +--------------------------+ patches/packages/xorg-server-1.12.4-i486-1_slack14.0.txz: Upgraded. This update fixes an input flush bug with evdev. Under exceptional conditions (keyboard input during device hotplugging), this could leak a small amount of information intended for the X server. This issue was evaluated to be of low impact.
