Importing X.Org security patch for the xserver
Patch released by X.Org which fixes CVE-2024-9632, has to be imported into the xserver component shipped by NoMachine packages. Upgrading both server and client packages for Linux is recommended.
This is considered minor, since the Xorg code of NoMachine is not intended to be run as an actual Xserver and even less with super-user privileges, as root. This patch is not significant for the use of X that NoMachine does, but it has to be included for completeness and because in X, CVE-2024-9632 is actually a real threat.
The security advisory from X.Org is available here: https://lists.x.org/archives/xorg/2024-October/061764.html
SOLVED, Released in version 8.15.3
