 Mandriva Linux Security Advisory                         MDKSA-2006:199
 http://www.mandriva.com/security/
 _______________________________________________________________________
 
 Package : libx11
 Date    : November 6, 2006
 Affected: 2007.0
 _______________________________________________________________________
 
 Problem Description:
 
 The Xinput module (modules/im/ximcp/imLcIm.c) in X.Org libX11 1.0.2 and
 1.0.3 opens a file for reading twice using the same file descriptor,
 which causes a file descriptor leak that allows local users to read
 files specified by the XCOMPOSEFILE environment variable via the
 duplicate file descriptor.

 Updated packages have been patched to correct this issue.
