• OpenBSD Errata: October 25th, 2018 (xserver)

    From T.J. Townsend@21:1/5 to All on Fri Oct 26 05:50:01 2018
    Errata patches for Xorg have been released for OpenBSD 6.3 and 6.4.

    The Xorg X server incorrectly validates certain options, allowing arbitrary files to be overwritten.

    Binary updates for the amd64, i386, and arm64 platforms are available
    via the syspatch utility. Source code patches can be found on the
    respective errata pages:

    https://www.openbsd.org/errata63.html
    https://www.openbsd.org/errata64.html

    If the X server is running, restart it after patching.

    As an immediate (temporary) workaround, the Xorg binary's setuid bit can be removed by running: chmod u-s /usr/X11R6/bin/Xorg
