Package: xserver-xorg
Version: 1:7.5+8
To reproduce:
cp .Xauthority private/tmpfile
xauth -f private/tmpfile generate $DISPLAY . untrusted timeout 1000000000
Actual behaviour:
My X server died. The log message was:
X: ../../Xext/security.c:323: SecurityAuthorizationExpired: Assertion
`pAuth->timer == timer' failed.
XIO: fatal IO error 11 (Resource temporarily unavailable) on X server ":0.0"
after 7385 requests (7224 known processed) with 0 events remaining.
Desired behaviour:
X auth cookie is replaced in private/tmpfile and X server does not
crash. Alternatively, an error message (eg, that the timeout is too
large, or that the X request failed).
I was trying to make an untrusted cookie which would not time out.
Unfortunately that does not appear to be possible. A timeout value of
1000000 seems to work; 10000000 crashes the server.
Ian.
