It has been found, that libxdmcp, an X11 Display Manager Control Protocol 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 1:1.1.1-1+deb7u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your libxdmcp packages.
