MDVA-2009:163 : libxcb

high Nessus Plugin ID 47955

Synopsis

The remote Mandriva host is missing one or more security-related patches.

Description

In 2009.1, if you launch Firefox remotely via ssh, xdm, or rlogin, the menus are sluggish. When you right click on links, it takes 2-3
*seconds* for the menu to appear. A new libxcb package was build with fixes for this issue, bringing firefox back to it's normal speed when running remotely.

Solution

Update the affected package(s).
