-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA512 - ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Debian Security Advisory DSA-2661-1 security () debian org http://www.debian.org/security/ Yves-Alexis Perez April 17, 2013 http://www.debian.org/security/faq - ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Package : xorg-server Vulnerability : information disclosure Problem type : local Debian-specific: no CVE ID : CVE-2013-1940 David Airlie and Peter Hutterer of Red Hat discovered that xorg-server, the Xorg X server was vulnerable to an information disclosure flaw related to input handling and devices hotplug. When an X server is running but not on front (for example because of a VT switch), a newly plugged input device would still be recognized and handled by the X server, which would actually transmit input events to its clients on the background. This could allow an attacker to recover some input events not intended for the X clients, including sensitive information. For the stable distribution (squeeze), this problem has been fixed in version 2:1.7.7-16. For the testing distribution (wheezy), this problem has been fixed in version 2:1.12.4-6. For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem has been fixed in version 2:1.12.4-6. We recommend that you upgrade your xorg-server packages.
