xf86-video-vmware 11.0.99.901


xf86-video-vmware is an X server display driver for 
VMware's virtual SVGA device.

This is a beta release for upcoming xf86-video-vmware-11.1.0.
This release should be considered unstable and is not suitable for distro
inclusion

It addresses an ABI incompatibility issue with video driver ABI 11.

Fixes a number of bugs.

Alters the way an initial mode was set up. Now the driver uses the
device's current resolution at startup or 800x600 whichever is largest.

 
Alan Coopersmith (1):
      Use dixLookupWindow instead of LookupWindow on Xorg 1.5 & later

Alan Hourihane (1):
      vmwlegacy: Fix mode lookup

Matt Turner (1):
      Fix wrong-sized swaps

Michel Daenzer (1):
      vmwlegacy: Send ConfigureNotify events on Xinerama state changes with no mode change

Thomas Hellstrom (15):
      vmwlegacy: Remove Write-Combining setups

X.Org security advisory: xserver locking code issues


X.Org security advisory, October 18, 2011
xserver locking vulnerabilities
CVE IDs: CVE-2011-4028 CVE-2011-4029

Description
-----------

Two vulnerabilities have been discovered in the code handling the X
server lock, that forbids two X servers from serving the same display
simultaneously.

o CVE-2011-4028 : File disclosure vulnerability:
  It is possible to deduce if a file exists or not by exploiting the
  way that Xorg creates its lock files.

  This is caused by the fact that the X server is behaving differently
  if the lock file already exists as a symbolic link pointing to an
  existing or non-existing file.

o CVE-2011-4029 : File permission change vulnerability:
  It is possible for a non-root user to set the permissions for
  all users on any file or directory to 444, giving unwanted read
  access or causing denies of service (by removing execute permission).
  This is caused by a race between creating the lock file and setting
  its access modes.

Affected Versions
-----------------

sessreg 1.0.7


Sessreg is a simple program for managing utmp/wtmp entries for X sessions.
It was originally written for use with xdm, but may also be used with
other display managers such as gdm or kdm.

This release features a lot of cleanups, portability & build configuration
improvements, and some fixes for building on BSD releases, especially
recent versions of FreeBSD.

Alan Coopersmith (5):
       Sun's copyrights belong to Oracle now
       config: upgrade to util-macros 1.8 for additional man page support
       config: Remove unnecessary calls from configure.ac
       Add const attributes to fix gcc -Wwrite-strings warnings
       sessreg 1.0.7

Ed Schouten (12):
       Correct whitespace and indentation.
       Fix typo in function name check.
       Only split off /dev/ instead trimming to last /.
       Use Autoconf to check for utmp field existence.
       Get rid of bzero() calls. Replace them by memset().
       Don't forget to include <sys/types.h> before <utmp.h>.
       Get rid of SYSV definition. Just check for pututline().
       Only expose the sflag variable when needed.
       Just use time_t directly.
       Fix whitespace inconsistencies.
       Simply define LLOG_FILE and TTYS_FILE unconditionally.
       Make lastlog work on BSD systems without <lastlog.h>.
