TITLE:
Fedora update for xorg-x11-xfs

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA35674

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/35674/

DESCRIPTION:
Fedora has issued an update for xorg-x11-xfs. This fixes a
vulnerability, which can be exploited by malicious, local users to
perform actions with escalated privileges.

The vulnerability is caused due to a race condition within the
handling of temporary files when the xfs font server startup script
is executed. This can be exploited to change the permissions of
arbitrary files.

SOLUTION:
Apply updated packages using the yum utility ("yum update
xorg-x11-xfs").

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
An anonymous person, reported via iDefense.
