As an additional precaution, this security update also disables font changing, user-defined keys, and X property changes through escape sequences.

For the stable distribution (etch), this problem has been fixed in version 222-1etch3.

For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem will be fixed soon.

We recommend that you upgrade your xterm package.");
