Debian Security Advisory DSA-1694-2                  security@...ian.org

- ------------------------------------------------------------------------

Package        : xterm
Vulnerability  : design flaw
Problem type   : local (remote)
Debian-specific: no
CVE Id(s)      : CVE-2008-2383
Debian Bug     : 510030

The xterm update in DSA-1694-1 disabled font changing as a precaution.
However, users reported that they need this feature.  The update in this
DSA makes font shifting through escape sequences configurable, using a
new allowFontOps X resource, and unconditionally enables font changing
through keyboard sequences.

For the stable distribution (etch), this problem has been fixed in
version 222-1etch4.

For the testing distribution (lenny), this problem has been fixed in
version 235-2.

For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem has been fixed in
version 238-2.

We recommend that you upgrade your xterm package.
