Synopsis
xterm bug fix update
Type/Severity
Bug Fix Advisory
Red Hat Insights patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
An updated xterm package that fixes a bug is now available.
Description
The xterm program is a terminal emulator for the X Window System. It
provides DEC VT102 and Tektronix 4014 compatible terminals for programs
that cannot use the window system directly.
This updated package includes the following bug fix:
- missing pointer checks could cause xterm to SEGFAULT when the xterm
window was resized during initialization. Pointer checking has been
improved with this update and resizing an xterm window during
initialization no longer causes xterm to crash. (BZ#540534)
All xterm users should upgrade to this updated package, which resolves this
issue.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure all previously-released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.
This update is available via the Red Hat Network. Details on how to
