Ubuntu security bulletins (USN-514-1 - X.org server)

USN-514-1: X.org-related privilege escalation
Threat-level (*): Moderate

Affected Ubuntu versions:
  • Ubuntu 6.06 LTS
  • (and the corresponding versions of Kubuntu, Edubuntu, and Xubuntu)
It's recommended that you perform (at least) a standard upgrade of your system to avoid possible:
  • Exploits based on a bug found in the server core (and in its composite extension), with the following possible consequences:
    • arbitrary code execution with root user privileges
