xorg-server vulnerability
==========================================================================

A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:

- Ubuntu 10.10
- Ubuntu 10.04 LTS

Summary:

The X server could be made to crash or run programs as an administrator.

Software Description:
- xorg-server: X.Org X server

Details:

USN-1232-1 fixed vulnerabilities in the X.Org X server. A regression was
found on Ubuntu 10.04 LTS that affected GLX support, and USN-1232-2 was
released to temporarily disable the problematic security fix. This update
includes a revised fix for CVE-2010-4818.
