The Debian 'libx11' package in Debian 10 has missing length validation, allowing X11 protocol command injection, leading to authentication bypass, denial of service, or arbitrary code execution. Upgrade libx11 to version 2:1.6.7-1+deb10u2

For the stable distribution (buster), this problem has been fixed in version 2:1.6.7-1+deb10u2.

We recommend that you upgrade your libx11 packages.
