X.Org Security Advisory: Feb 10, 2015 - CVE-2015-0255 Information leak in the XkbSetGeometry request of X servers =========================================================== Description: ============ Olivier Fourdan from Red Hat has discovered a protocol handling issue in the way the X server code base handles the XkbSetGeometry request. The issue stems from the server trusting the client to

This includes various fixes, including a regression from the previous security patches, plus today's xkb security fix (http://www.x.org/wiki/Development/Security/Advisory-2015-02-10/) Thanks to Dave Airlie for collecting most of those. Cheers, Julien Adam Jackson (1): dix: make RegionInit legal C++ Chris Wilson (1): dri2: SourceOffloads may be for DRI3 only Dave Airlie (2):

Here's 1.18 RC1. Let's figure out when to release this during XDC. Aaron Plattner (3): xfree86: Fix xf86_check_platform_slot's handling of PCI xfree86: Add GPU screens even if there are no active GDevs xfree86: Bump video driver ABI version to 20 Adam Jackson (27): glamor: Fix up indentation xf86Crtc: right-of placement by default. dmx: Fix the

This release of libX11 looks bigger than it is, due to a lot of spec/doc cleanup work that doesn't affect the code itself. There is still a good deal of bug fixes, code cleanup, locale improvements, and compose key table additions, including new UTF-8 compose sequences for: <Multi_key> <R> <equal> : "<U+20B9>" U20b9 # INDIAN RUPEE SIGN <Multi_key>

The Neverending Story of X11 Insecurity continues... Summary: On a system where X11R6.3-based Xserver with XKEYBOARD extension (R6.1 is probably affected too) is run in setuid or setgid enviroment (e.g. typical XFree86 installation has XF86_* installed setuid root), local users can exploit a "feature" of XKB implementation to execute arbitrary commands with the extra privileges.

I had to stop using the fglrx video driver from ELRepo, which isn't supported with CentOS 6.4. Now I can't start X; I get the following: > (II) [KMS] Kernel modesetting enabled. > The XKEYBOARD keymap compiler (xkbcomp) reports: > Error: Cannot open "/tmp/server-0.xkm" to write keyboard > description > Exiting > The XKEYBOARD

Suspend your disbelief, it's 1.4.1. Better imperfect than never at all, I guess. Contains a few security and input fixes, some memory leak fixes, and a few misc bits. git tag: xorg-server-1.4.1 http://xorg.freedesktop.org/archive/individual/xserver/xorg-server-1.4.1.tar.bz2 MD5: 0d638b6857408bb2e564e0c7b772d9a1 xorg-server-1.4.1.tar.bz2 SHA1: b5a020f6a5cc4b16296dadbc9c82073201d7d01a

Adam Jackson (2): _XDefaultIOError: Reformat to be less ugly _XDefaultIOError: Do better at detecting explicit shutdown Alan Coopersmith (23): Remove documentation of obsolete B16 & B32 tags in specs/libX11 Update README for gitlab migration Import reallocarray() from OpenBSD Convert main src directory to use reallocarray() Convert src/XKB to use

Ok, I think we've done enough damage for one release. Thanks everyone for pulling a long weekend to get changes prepared and reviewed. We're still missing the threaded input stuff, but that needs more review and I think we wore Tiago out this time around. If someone wants to propose merging it after the freeze, I think we should consider doing it. Note that this tarball depends on

Aaron Plattner (11): Bug #12015: Use the right offsets in the dst arguments of pixman_blt. stride is in FbBits-sized chunks, but xoff is not. Bump video driver ABI for pci-rework. Set noCompositeExtension to TRUE when failing to initialize the extension (e.g. when Xinerama is enabled). Don't segfault on shutdown if we never managed to connect to dbus.

Adam Jackson (20): Unlibcwrap. Support the new DIX motion history API Ignore button events above BTN_TASK for now. Parse Option "Path" as well as Option "Device". Re-add XKB support. Nuke the keyboard bell code. Add absolute coordinate event support. Force maximum keycode to be 255 Handle the alternate spellings of the xkb

evdev 2.0 has arrived. Roll out the carpet and bring the cake. FWIW, I hereby also take maintainership of evdev. Cheers, Peter Peter Hutterer (3): Finalize MB emulation if EvdevProbe fails. Shut up compiler warning "implicit declaration of function 'xf86Msg'" evdev 2.0.0 git tag: xf86-input-evdev-2.0.0

A collection of stability fixes from the development branch, including two minor CVEs. Thanks to all who sent in patches! Aaron Plattner (1): randr: Use RRTransformEqual in RRCrtcPendingTransform Adam Jackson (11): parser: Fix crash when xf86nameCompare(s1 = x, s2 = NULL) xinerama: Implement graphics exposures for window->pixmap copies (v4) ephyr: Don't clobber

Another pile of backports from the devel branch, primarily in glamor, xwayland, and the modesetting driver. Thanks to all who contributed. Adam Jackson (9): dix: Squash some new gcc6 warnings kdrive: Nuke a bunch of dead code xfree86: Add IndirectGLX server flag (v2) xfree86: Don't swallow ±iglx command line flag modesetting: resubmit dirty rects on EINVAL (v2)

This is the first release candidate for xserver 1.20. Notable changes since 1.19 include: - RANDR 1.6, which enables leasing RANDR resources to a client for its exclusive use (e.g. head mounted displays) - Depth 30 support in glamor and the modesetting driver - A meson-based build system, parallel to autotools - Pageflipping support for PRIME output sinks - OutputClass device matching for
