Todd Carson discovered some integer overflows in libX11, which could lead to heap corruption when processing crafted messages from an input method.

For Debian 9 stretch, this problem has been fixed in version 2:1.6.4-3+deb9u2.

We recommend that you upgrade your libx11 packages.

For the detailed security status of libx11 please refer to its security tracker page at:
https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/libx11

NOTE: Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the DLA security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.
