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.
10Actively 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 :)

51I invite everyone to take a look at Open Office's commits over the past few years, it's hilarious

Part of this is possibly due to Xwayland too

@prodentim I can tell you put a lot of time and effort into this post. It really shows in the quality of the final product.
1funny wayland propaganda. They patched these issues, proving they don't patch issues. Are you serious?
