About CVE-2016-1908

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

  • Is there a plan to release the errata for the CVE?
  • Please also let us know the workaround for the CVE. Can it be a workaround to apply RHSA-2013-1620?
  • https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1298741:
The X server on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 includes X Security extension(as of RHSA-2013:1620 - http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2013-1620.html - which was released as part of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.5) and hence does not fall back to the use of fake authentication cookie.
