X.Org Releases X Server 1.4.2
Posted by Michael Larabel on June 11, 2008
It took more than 200 days for X Server 1.4.1 to be released, but X Server 1.4.2 is coming just about 24 hours after yesterday's release 1.4.1. This release is coming along quickly as Matthieu Herrb had shared multiple vulnerabilities in the X Server extensions. Three of these CVEs have to do with the RENDER extension while the other two fixed in X Server 1.4.2 are for memory corruption with the RECORD and Security extensions and an MIT-SHM arbitrary memory read. The X Server 1.4.2 release announcement can be read on the xorg mailing list.
