X.org is an open source implementation of the X Window System. It provides
the basic low-level functionality that full-fledged graphical user
interfaces are designed upon.

A temporary file flaw was found in the way the X.Org X11 xfs font server
startup script executes. A local user could modify the permissions of the
file of their choosing, possibly elevating their local privileges
(CVE-2007-3103).

Users of X.org should upgrade to these updated packages, which contain a
backported patch and are not vulnerable to these issues.
