It has been found, that libice, an X11 Inter-Client Exchange library, uses weak entropy to generate keys. Using arc4random_buf() from libbsd should avoid this flaw.



For Debian 7 Wheezy, these problems have been fixed in version 2:1.0.8-2+deb7u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your libice packages.
