    Description:


    The X Server was updated to fix 1 security issues and 4 bugs:

    Security issues:
    - CVE-2015-3418: Fixed a regression introduced by CVE-2014-8092 in
    PutImage that caused crashes when called with 0 height (bnc#928520).

    Bugs fixed:
    - Xephyr: Don't crash when no command line argument is specified The DDX
    specific command line parsing function only gets called if command line
    arguments are present. Therefore this function is not suitable to
    initialize mandatory global variables. Replace main() instead.
    (bnc#925022)
    - Xephyr: Print default server display number if none is specified
    (bnc#925022)
    - Xephyr: Fix broken image when endianess of client machine and
    host-Xserver differ The image is created in the native byte order of the
    machine Xephyr is rendered on however drawn in the image byte order of
    the Xephyr server. Correct byte order in the xcb_image_t structure and
    convert to native before updating the window. If depths of Xephyr and
    host server differ this is already taken care of by the depth conversion
    routine. (bnc#923229).
    - Xephyr: Fix compile when debugging is enabled (bnc#925021)
    - Xephyr: Fix screen image draw for the non-Glamor & non-XHSM case
    xcb_image_put() prints the entire image, therefore don't use an offset.
    (bnc#925019)
