Descriptions

A flaw was found in the X.Org server. The cursor code in both Xephyr and Xwayland uses the wrong type of private at creation. It uses the cursor bits type with the cursor as private, and when initiating the cursor, that overwrites the XSELINUX context.

Se encontró una falla en el servidor X.Org. El código del cursor tanto en Xephyr como en Xwayland utiliza el tipo incorrecto de privado en el momento de la creación. Utiliza el tipo de bits del cursor con el cursor como privado y, al iniciar el cursor, sobrescribe el contexto XSELINUX.

*Credits: Red Hat would like to thank Olivier Fourdan for reporting this issue.
