This patch fixes the problem for me.
Nalin, can you look at this patch and comment on it. Seems ok to me, but I'd like security guru eyes to pass over it first. I have sent this patch upstream to XFree86 maintainers for application to the CVS HEAD. If accepted, it should appear in XFree86 4.2.0. Did not appear in XFree86 4.2.0. However that area of code did change, and in an ugly (IMHO) way. Another bug is that the return pointer from realloc() inside the GETMEM macro in the new code, gets thrown away instead of being reassigned to "reply", which assumes the realloc()'d memory will be in the same location as the originally allocated block. I've fixed both bugs with a new patch in rawhide 4.2.0-60.4 and later An errata has been issued which should help the problem described in this bug report. This report is therefore being closed with a resolution of ERRATA. For more information on the solution and/or where to find the updated files, please follow the link below. You may reopen this bug report if the solution does not work for you. http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2003-066.html |
