Topic

Updated xorg-x11-xfs packages that resolve an issue are now available for Red
Hat Enterprise Linux 5.

Description

The X.Org X11 xfs font server provides a standard mechanism for an X server to
communicate with a font renderer.

These updated xorg-x11-xfs packages fix the following bug:

  • Prior to this update, the X Window System font server (xfs) could have

terminated with a segmentation fault on 64-bit platforms if the client-limit was
set to values greater than 100. With this update, the underlying code has been
changed and xfs remains stable regardless of the set client limit. (BZ#685065)

All users of xorg-x11-xfs are advised to upgrade to these updated packages,
which resolve this issue.

Solution

Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.

This update is available via Red Hat Network. Details on how to use the Red Hat
Network to apply this update are available at
