Title: DSA-1466 xfree86 -- several vulnerabilities
Description: The X.org fix for CVE-2007-6429 introduced a regression in the MIT-SHM extension, which prevented the start of a few applications.

For reference the original advisory text below: Several local vulnerabilities have been discovered in the X.Org X server. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following problems: regenrecht discovered that missing input sanitising within the XFree86-Misc extension may lead to local privilege escalation. It was discovered that error messages of security policy file handling may lead to a minor information leak disclosing the existence of files otherwise inaccessible to the user. regenrecht discovered that missing input sanitising within the XInput-Misc extension may lead to local privilege escalation. regenrecht discovered that missing input sanitising within the TOG-CUP extension may lead to disclosure of memory contents. regenrecht discovered that integer overflows in the EVI and MIT-SHM extensions may lead to local privilege escalation. It was discovered that insufficient validation of PCF fonts could lead to local privilege escalation.
