Hi all,

There were some fixes in X libraries, that prevent attacks from a 
malicious X server:

Are there any plans to make similar fixes in xcb-util libraries?
For example, xcb_image_get() from xcb-util-image doesn't check
that the result of calling xcb_get_image() is correct.

Best regards,
Alexander.
