severity 616667 important reassign 616667 xserver-xorg-core found 616667 2:1.7.7-11 user debian-x@lists.debian.org usertag squeeze-candidate thanks Hi Ian, Ian Jackson <ijackson@chiark.greenend.org.uk> (06/03/2011): > Package: xserver-xorg > Version: 1:7.5+8 > > To reproduce: > cp .Xauthority private/tmpfile > xauth -f private/tmpfile generate $DISPLAY . untrusted timeout 1000000000 > > Actual behaviour: > My X server died. The log message was: > X: ../../Xext/security.c:323: SecurityAuthorizationExpired: Assertion `pAuth->timer == timer' failed. ouch. Tagging as something we might want to fix in squeeze (until it's investigated anyway). XIO: fatal IO error 11 (Resource temporarily unavailable) on X server ":0.0" > after 7385 requests (7224 known processed) with 0 events remaining. > > Desired behaviour: > X auth cookie is replaced in private/tmpfile and X server does not > crash. Alternatively, an error message (eg, that the timeout is too > large, or that the X request failed). > > I was trying to make an untrusted cookie which would not time out. > Unfortunately that does not appear to be possible. A timeout value of > 1000000 seems to work; 10000000 crashes the server. With 2:1.9.99.903-1, I'm getting: | -(cyril@talisker)-(/tmp)-() | $ xauth -f private generate $DISPLAY . untrusted timeout 1000000000 | xauth: (argv):1: couldn't query Security extension on display ":42.0" Will see if that's expected once I get some more info from a squeeze system.
