Technical note added. If any revisions are required, please edit the "Technical Notes" field accordingly. All revisions will be proofread by the Engineering Content Services team. New Contents: A previous advisory, the RHSA-2011:0433 xorg-x11-server-utils security update, applied a backported patch to fix a flaw in the X server resource database utility, xrdb. While this patch resolved the security issue, it also introduced an error in the macro expansion mechanism. Consequent to this, an attempt to run the xrdb utility could fail with the following messages written to standard error: sh: -c: line 0: unexpected EOF while looking for matching `"' sh: -c: line 1: syntax error: unexpected end of file With this update, the underlying source code has been adapted to correct the macro expansion mechanism, and the xrdb utility now works as expected.
