Synopsis
xorg-x11-proto-devel enhancement update
Type/Severity
Product Enhancement Advisory
Red Hat Insights patch analysis
Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
An updated xorg-x11-proto-devel package is now available.
Description
The xorg-x11-proto-devel package provides X.Org X11 Protocol header files
that are used when building X servers or X client libraries.
Previously, the XFD_SETSIZE value in the Xpoll.h header file was set to
allow only 256 X client connections for a single X server. Consequently, if
this limit was reached, the X Server would silently deny new connections.
With this update, the XFD_SETSIZE has been modified to support a maximum of
512 X client connections. The X server supplied in Red Hat Enterprise Linux
5.4 has been built with this limit increase included. (BZ#511913)
All users of xorg-x11-proto-devel are advised to install this updated
package, which provides this enhancement.
Solution
Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released
errata relevant to your system have been applied.
This update is available via Red Hat Network. Details on how to use
