is due to xterm not properly processing the DECRQSS Device
Control Request Status String escape sequence. This can be exploited
to inject and execute arbitrary shell commands by e.g. tricking a
user into displaying a malicious text file containing a specially
crafted escape sequence via the more command in xterm (CVE-2008-2383).
The updated packages have been patched to prevent this.
