USN-1232-1 fixed vulnerabilities in the X.Org X server. A regression was found on Ubuntu 10.04 LTS that affected GLX support, and USN-1232-2 was released to temporarily disable the problematic security fix. This update includes a revised fix for CVE-2010-4818.

We apologize for the inconvenience.

It was discovered that the X server incorrectly handled certain malformed input. An authorized attacker could exploit this to cause the X server to crash, leading to a denial or service, or possibly execute arbitrary code with root privileges. This issue only affected Ubuntu 10.04 LTS and 10.10. (CVE-2010-4818)

(CVE-2010-4819)

Vladz discovered that the X server incorrectly handled lock files. A local attacker could use this flaw to determine if a file existed or not. (CVE-2011-4028)

Vladz discovered that the X server incorrectly handled setting lock file permissions. A local attacker could use this flaw to gain read permissions on arbitrary files and view sensitive information. (CVE-2011-4029).

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