CVE-2013-1056 (http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2013-1056):
  X.org X server 1.13.3 and earlier, when not run as root, allows local users
  to cause a denial of service (crash) or possibly gain privileges via vectors
  involving cached xkb files.

No package in tree is affected by this, the oldest xorg-server ebuild in tree where suid is optional is 1.13.4-r1. Older versions always run as root.
