Description Bernard Cafarelli gentoo-dev 2008-06-30 09:02:40 UTC
"ROME, Italy, June 25, 2008 - NoMachine releases the third maintenance release of NX Node 3.2.0. The new packages provide updated versions of the nx-X11 and nxagent components including patches which solve the issues reported by X.Org security advisory, June 11th, 2008:

http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg/2008-June/036026.html

Although in NX these vulnerabilities cannot lead to privilege escalation since the X11 agent never runs as root, we strongly advise all users to upgrade their NX Node packages to the latest version"

Looks like these are the CVEs from bug #225419

I am currently testing new packages for both net-misc/nxnode and net-misc/nx, will need stable keywords on amd64 and x86
