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

    Package : xorg
    Vulnerability : incorrect permission check
    Problem type : local
    Debian-specific: yes
    CVE ID : CVE-2011-4613
    Debian Bug : 652249

    The Debian X wrapper enforces that the X server can only be started from
    a console. "vladz" discovered that this wrapper could be bypassed.

    The oldstable distribution (lenny) is not affected.

    For the stable distribution (squeeze), this problem has been fixed in
    version 7.5+8+squeeze1.

    For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem has been fixed in
    version 1:7.6+10.

    We recommend that you upgrade your xorg packages.
