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

Paul Szabo discovered that xterm, a terminal emulator for the X Window
System, places arbitrary characters into the input buffer when
displaying certain crafted escape sequences (CVE-2008-2383).

As an additional precaution, this security update also disables font
changing, user-defined keys, and X property changes through escape
sequences.

For the stable distribution (etch), this problem has been fixed in
version 222-1etch3.

For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem will be fixed soon.

We recommend that you upgrade your xterm package.
