New Xorg security advisory 🎉
https://lists.x.org/archives/xorg-announce/2023-October/003430.htmlThree CVEs but statistically only the first one (5367) will matter to you. And even that one really only if you're running X as root.
The second one affects Zaphod setups only and the third one only Xvfb with a Zaphod setup so they're well into niche territory, past the Unlikely canyon, and currently climbing the Improbably mountain.
