Summary
The remote host is missing updates announced in
advisory GLSA 200409-34.
Solution
All X.org users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge sync
# emerge -pv '>=x11-base/xorg-x11-6.7.0-r2'
# emerge '>=x11-base/xorg-x11-6.7.0-r2'
All XFree86 users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge sync
# emerge -pv '>=x11-base/xfree-4.3.0-r7'
# emerge '>=x11-base/xfree-4.3.0-r7'
Note: Usage of XFree86 is deprecated on the AMD64, HPPA, IA64, MIPS, PPC and SPARC architectures: XFree86 users on those architectures should switch to X.org rather than upgrading XFree86.
