Note from the SUSE Security Team
This attack requires setuid root X Server. Since SUSE Linux Enterprise 12 we are not shipping setuid root xservers anymore, so we are not affected by this problem. The fix will be included in future releases in case local administrators have given out setuid root bits to the X server.
