Package: xorg-x11 Severity: normal Version: 6.9.0.dfsg.1-4 Tags: security CVE-2006-0197 describes a potential security problem as follows: The XClientMessageEvent struct used in certain components of X.Org 6.8.2 and earlier, possibly including (1) the X server and (2) Xlib, uses a "long" specifier for elements of the l array, which results in inconsistent sizes in the struct on 32-bit versus 64-bit platforms, and might allow attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) and possibly conduct other attacks. With details here: http://www.securityfocus.com/archive/1/archive/1/421256/100/0/threaded The struct remains the same in version 6.9.0.dfsg.1-4. I don't know if this is actually exploitable or even a bug at all, so please investigate. -- see shy jo
