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?
  • Bugzilla 1298741
The X server on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 includes X Security extension(as of [RHSA-2013:1620](http://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2013:1620) - 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.
