| Doc Text: |
Connecting to a remote machine of different endianness architecture using the X Display Manager Control Protocol (XDMCP) could cause unexpected termination of the X server when the data length in the XkbSetGeometry request was erroneously swapped twice, and an incorrect value was produced. With this update, the data is swapped only once when appropriate, ensuring the use of correct data length. Connecting to remote machines no longer causes X server crashes in this situation.

Created attachment 796457 [details] backtrace Description of problem: Connecting through XDMCP to a remote machine sometimes ends up in a crash with the following backtrace in the terminal (refer to the attachment for a backtrace from gdb). I've managed to reproduce this only on ppc64 arch but it may not be arch-specific. (EE) (EE) Backtrace: (EE) 0: Xephyr (xorg_backtrace+0x36) [0x464fb6] (EE) 1: Xephyr (0x400000+0x6ad19) [0x46ad19] (EE) 2: /lib64/libpthread.so.0 (0x3e1d800000+0xf500) [0x3e1d80f500] (EE) 3: /lib64/libc.so.6 (memcpy+0x2eb) [0x3e1d489b0b] (EE) 4: Xephyr (0x400000+0x16de52) [0x56de52] (EE) 5: Xephyr (0x400000+0x17689d) [0x57689d] (EE) 6: Xephyr (0x400000+0x1772a5) [0x5772a5] (EE) 7: Xephyr (0x400000+0x30059) [0x430059] (EE) 8: Xephyr (0x400000+0x9397a) [0x49397a] (EE) 9: /lib64/libc.so.6 (__libc_start_main+0xfd) [0x3e1d41ecdd] (EE) 10: Xephyr (0x400000+0x1dba9) [0x41dba9] (EE) (EE) Segmentation fault at address 0x1133000 Fatal server error: Caught signal 11 (Segmentation fault). Server aborting Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): xorg-x11-server-Xephyr-1.13.0-11.el6.x86_64 How reproducible: random Steps to Reproduce: 1. Put Enable=true under [xdmcp] section in /etc/gdm/custom.conf on the host 2. Restart GDM on the host (initctl restart prefdm) 3. Disable firewall on both the host and client machine 4. Connect from the client using: Xephyr :99 -query <host-ip> Actual results: At some point, before a remote GDM instance has finished loading, Xephyr crashes. Expected results: No crash.
