Mandriva Linux Security Advisory MDKSA-2006:199
http://www.mandriva.com/security/
_______________________________________________________________________
Package : libx11
Date : November 6, 2006
Affected: 2007.0
_______________________________________________________________________
Problem Description:
The Xinput module (modules/im/ximcp/imLcIm.c) in X.Org libX11 1.0.2 and
1.0.3 opens a file for reading twice using the same file descriptor,
which causes a file descriptor leak that allows local users to read
files specified by the XCOMPOSEFILE environment variable via the
duplicate file descriptor.
Updated packages have been patched to correct this issue.
