   An update that fixes two vulnerabilities is now available.

Description:


   This is a SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 SP1 LTSS roll up update of
   xorg-x11-libXt, fixing security issues.

   These issues require connection to a malicious X server to trigger the
   bugs in client libraries.

       * CVE-2013-2002: Buffer overflow in X.org libXt allowed X servers to
         cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary
         code via crafted length or index values to the
         _XtResourceConfigurationEH function.
       * CVE-2013-2005: X.org libXt did not check the return value of the
         XGetWindowProperty function, which allowed X servers to trigger use
         of an uninitialized pointer and memory corruption via vectors
   related to the (1) ReqCleanup, (2) HandleSelectionEvents, (3) ReqTimedOut,
   (4) HandleNormal, and (5) HandleSelectionReplies functions.
