<define-tag description>LTS security update</define-tag>
<define-tag moreinfo>
<p>Olivier Fourdan discovered that missing input validation in the Xserver's
handling of XkbSetGeometry requests may result in an information leak or
denial of service.</p>

<p>This upload to Debian squeeze-lts fixes the issue by not swapping
XkbSetGeometry data in the input buffer any more and checking strings'
length against request size.</p>
