  • RHSA-2003:064Red Hat Security Advisory: : Updated XFree86 4.1.0 packages are available2003-06-25csaf · redhat_csafUS

    Updated XFree86 packages that resolve various security issues and additionally provide a number of bug fixes and enhancements are now available for Red Hat Linux 7.1 and 7.2.

  • RHSA-2003:065Red Hat Security Advisory: XFree86 security update2003-06-25csaf · redhat_csafUS

  • RHSA-2003:066Red Hat Security Advisory: : Updated XFree86 packages provide security and bug fixes2003-06-25csaf · redhat_csafUS

    XFree86 is an implementation of the X Window System providing the core graphical user interface and video drivers. Updated XFree86 packages for Red Hat Linux 7.3 are now available which include several security fixes, bug fixes, enhancements, and driver updates.

  • RHSA-2003:067Red Hat Security Advisory: : Updated XFree86 packages provide security and bug fixes2003-06-25csaf · redhat_csafUS

    New XFree86 packages for Red Hat Linux 8.0 are now available which include several security fixes, bug fixes, enhancements, and driver updates. [Updated: June 30, 2003] The XFree86 4.2.1-20 packages which were originally released in this advisory were accidentally built with debugging info enabled due to a temporary problem with our build system. Unfortunately, this problem was not noticed during package testing, and caused the new XFree86 packages to contain full debug symbol data, resulting in extremely large packages. Note that the previously released packages are functional and should not cause any problems on systems with adequate disk space. However we are releasing new XFree86 4.2.1-21 packages to both minimize the download time for people that have not yet updated XFree86 on their systems, and to minimize the disk space footprint caused by this issue. Additionally, our testing procedures have also been updated to automatically catch similar issues in the future. Red Hat apologizes for any inconvenience this may have caused you.
