           Summary: xmag infinite loop if untrusted
           Product: xorg
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: App/other
        AssignedTo: xorg-bugzilla-noise at freedesktop.org
        ReportedBy: jimc at math.ucla.edu


Using OpenSSH v3.8p1 with ForwardX11Trusted = false (i.e. the remote client will 
be untrusted), give the command "xmag" (no arguments).  It has an infinite loop 
saying "X error of failed request:  BadDrawable (invalid Pixmap or Window 
parameter), Major opcode of failed request:  67 (X_PolyRectangle)".  (And it 
gives the resource ID, failed serno, and current serno.)  Most likely it is 
trying to draw its selection cursor.  No blame for running afoul of the security 
system, but it should do it once and die, not get an infinite loop.
    Please forgive me if I've identified the wrong component to complain about, 
but a Google search suggested that xmag does exist as a subdir of xorg, and 
there were no other xmag bugs that I could find.
