Bug#463011: update also for etch?

[David Ehle <ehle@agni.phys.iit.edu>]

Hello,

I would like to second this request that a security update be put in place 
for etch.  While I was not able to actually "shoulder surf" a forwarded X 
application, the bug does seem to stop X apps from running remotely when 
the conditions are met, (netcat or VNC) so it might technically qualify as 
a DOS attack.

Also this bug is in the list of vulnerabilities that Scanners catch now so 
I'm getting pressure to address it on our Stable systems... I'd much 
rather do it the debian way via a package from security.

Is there any idea if or when the update will occur?

Thanks!!
