# emerge --unmerge "app-antivirus/bitdefender-console"
NOTE: This is a legacy GLSA. Updates for all affected architectures have been available since 2011. It is likely that your system is already no longer affected by these issues.
X.org, libX11, xdm, xf86dga, xinit, xload, xtrans, and xterm are vulnerable to local privilege escalations because of unchecked setuid() calls.
| Package | Arch | Vulnerable | Unaffected |
|---|---|---|---|
| app-emulation/emul-linux-x86-xlibs | amd64 | < 7.0-r2 | >= 7.0-r2 |
| x11-apps/xdm | * | < 1.0.4-r1 | >= 1.0.4-r1 |
| x11-apps/xf86dga | * | < 1.0.1-r1 | >= 1.0.1-r1 |
| x11-apps/xinit | * | < 1.0.2-r6 | >= 1.0.2-r6 |

| x11-terms/xterm | * | < 215 | >= 215 |
X.org is an implementation of the X Window System.
Several X.org libraries and X.org itself contain system calls to set*uid() functions, without checking their result.
Local users could deliberately exceed their assigned resource limits and elevate their privileges after an unsuccessful set*uid() system call. This requires resource limits to be enabled on the machine.
There is no known workaround at this time.

Please note that the fixed packages have been available for most architectures since June 30th but the GLSA release was held up waiting for the remaining architectures.
