Changelog
xorg-server (2:1.12.1.902-1) unstable; urgency=medium
[ Julien Cristau ]
* xvfb-run: kill Xvfb when the script dies.
* xvfb-run: instead of waiting 3 seconds and hoping that's enough for Xvfb
to come up (and waiting 2.9 seconds too many in the general case), tell it
to send us SIGUSR1 when it's ready to accept connections. This reduces
"xvfb-run -- xterm -e true" from ~3.2s to ~0.4s on a quick test.
* xvfb-run: fix xauth handling; setting XAUTHORITY when starting an X server
isn't actually useful, we need to use the -auth command-line parameter
instead. Somehow this seems to have been broken all these years and
nobody noticed...
[ Cyril Brulebois ]
* New upstream release candidate for the 1.12 stable branch:
- Bring the usual lot of stability fixes.
- Fix segfault on server shutdown (Closes: #671812).
- Refactor logging, fixing a format string vulnerability which could lead
to a denial of service (“only”, thanks to the fortified sources). This
is CVE-2012-2118 (Closes: #673148).
* Bump severity to “medium” for those two important fixes.
