XOrg Server and Xwayland Patched Against Multiple Security Vulnerabilities - 9to5Linux
XOrg Server and Xwayland Patched Against Multiple Security Vulnerabilities - 9to5Linux
XOrg Server 21.1.11 and Xwayland 23.2.4 have been released today to address a total of six security vulnerabilities.
Even if your distro is using Wayland by default, the Xwayland implementation is probably still used for compatibility with X11 apps, so you still need to patch your systems and make sure that the latest version is installed.
But people told me X is not being maintained anymore.
31 0 ReplyActively developed is different from "maintained"
OpenOffice (OO) is being maintained and shouldn't be used
LibreOffice is being actively developed and should be used as a replacement to OO
Legacy softwares such as X11 and OO get updates to fix vulnerabilities
You prob said as irony, so used this opportunity to promote LibreOffice :)

Its not very actively developed but maintained. Development is nearly exclusively for XWayland

Part of this is possibly due to Xwayland too
11 0 ReplyYeah, they lied. X being dead and full of security issues is just a FUD. Keep calm and carry on using X.
8 0 Replywhich is in fact the only productive choice one can do :) when distro will force switch, then we will see

funny wayland propaganda. They patched these issues, proving they don't patch issues. Are you serious?
