Roman Fiedler found that libX11, the X11 protocol client library, was vulnerable to protocol command injection due to insufficient validation of arguments to some functions.



For Debian 8 jessie, these problems have been fixed in version 2:1.6.2-3+deb8u5.

We recommend that you upgrade your libx11 packages.
