Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.57630
Category:Mandrake Local Security Checks
Title:Mandrake Security Advisory MDKSA-2006:199 (libx11)
Summary:NOSUMMARY
Description:Description:

The remote host is missing an update to libx11
announced via advisory MDKSA-2006:199.

The Xinput module (modules/im/ximcp/imLcIm.c) in X.Org libX11 1.0.2 and
1.0.3 opens a file for reading twice using the same file descriptor,
which causes a file descriptor leak that allows local users to read
files specified by the XCOMPOSEFILE environment variable via the
duplicate file descriptor.

Updated packages have been patched to correct this issue.

Affected: 2007.0

Solution:
To upgrade automatically use MandrakeUpdate or urpmi. The verification
of md5 checksums and GPG signatures is performed automatically for you.
