Bug#1008890: libx11-6: XOpenDisplay segfaults if passed invalid display name
Package: libx11-6
Version: 2:1.7.4-1
Severity: normal
Tags: patch upstream
Forwarded: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/lib/libx11/-/issues/155
Since upgrading to 1.7.4, XOpenDisplay("this is invalid") segfaults.
This causes a FTBFS in GTK 3 (possibly also GTK 2 and GTK 4, I haven't
tried those yet), because GTK has a test-case asserting that GTK
initialization behaves correctly when XOpenDisplay() is made to fail,
which it does by specifying an invalid DISPLAY.
Please consider the patch that is available here:

Thanks,
smcv
