+Subject: [PATCH] Integer overflow on illegal server response
+
+The 32 bit field "rep.length" is not checked for validity, which allows
+an integer overflow on 32 bit systems.
+
+A malicious server could send INT_MAX as length, which gets multiplied
+by the size of XRectangle. In that case the client won't read the whole
+data from server, getting out of sync.
