openSUSE Security Update : xorg-x11-server (openSUSE-SU-2013:0937-1)

low Nessus Plugin ID 74992

Language:

Synopsis

The remote openSUSE host is missing a security update.

Description

- U_xf86-fix-flush-input-to-work-with-Linux-evdev-device.p atch

- So when we VT switch back and attempt to flush the input devices, we don't succeed because evdev won't return part of an event, since we were only asking for 4 bytes, we'd only get -EINVAL back. This could later cause events to be flushed that we shouldn't have gotten. This is a fix for CVE-2013-1940. (bnc#814653)

Solution

Update the affected xorg-x11-server packages.
