Package: x11-common
Version: 1:7.7+7
Followup-For: Bug #677831

Hi,

Apparently the calls to the do_restorecon() function have been dropped
in the following commit:

commit 0418b8dd8fa6940285f7f6b71302655942c15fb7
Author: Julien Cristau <jcris...@debian.org>
Date:   Fri Mar 2 21:57:56 2012 +0100

    Be more careful before running chown/chmod in x11-common.init
    
    Fix unsafe manipulation of /tmp/.X11-unix and /tmp/.ICE-unix in the 
x11-common
    init script.  A malicious user could trick us into changing
    ownership/permissions of an arbitrary directory, and elevate their 
privileges
    (closes: #661627).  Reference: CVE-2012-1093.

I guess it was not intentional,

Cheers,

Laurent Bigonville
