Topic

An updated libX11 package that fixes a bug is now available for Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 5.

Description

The libX11 package contains the core X11 protocol client library.

This update fixes the following bug:

  • Previously, in the 64-bit mode, libX11 computed addresses using the 32-bit

arithmetic. As a consequence, under heavy load, applications running in the X
environment terminated unexpectedly. A patch has been provided to address this
issue, and the crashes no longer occur in the described scenario. (BZ#736175)

Users of libX11 are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which fixes this
bug.

Solution

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

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