Description SMASH SMASH 2024-03-27 10:50:05 UTC

Xfig v3.2.8 was discovered to contain a NULL pointer dereference when calling XGetWMHints(). NOTE: this is disputed because it is not expected that an X application should continue to run when there is arbitrary anomalous behavior from the X server or window manager.
