CVE-2006-0197 Information

Description

The XClientMessageEvent struct used in certain components of X.Org 6.8.2 and earlier possibly including (1) the X server and (2) Xlib uses a \long\ specifier for elements of the l array which results in inconsistent sizes in the struct on 32-bit versus 64-bit platforms and might allow attackers to cause a denial of service (application crash) and possibly conduct other attacks.
