X.Org Server 1.19.2 Brings Xwayland, Glamor and Prime Improvements, Security Fixes

X.Org Server 1.19.2 comes one and a half months after the launch of the first point release and includes a bunch of stability improvements for Xwayland, Glamor, XFree86, Prime, and input support, besides patching a security issue that could brute-force the MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE authentication, namely CVE-2017-2624. We always recommend users to keep their Linux-based operating systems up-to-date with the latest software releases, so upgrading to the X.Org Server 1.19 is a great deal in both security and performance of your distribution. Now that X.Org Server 1.19.2 is out and includes more security fixes, we strongly advise all OS vendors to install it for their users.
