Fixing CVE-2013-4396 in squeeze-backports



Hi,

do you have any plans to fix CVE-2013-4396 in squeeze-backports?
(Rationale: Tails ships Xorg from squeeze-backports.)

If you don't, may I assume that the following would work:

  1. set up a Squeeze + backports chroot
  2. retrieve the xorg-server source package from squeeze-backports
  3. add the patch that was applied in the Wheezy security update
  4. build in the aforementioned chroot

?

I'm absolutely no C programmer, so if the patch doesn't apply clearly
or whatever, I'll be clueless and will need help. Also, it's unlikely
that I have time to deal with that before a week or so, so it's
clearly better if someone else does.

Cheers,
