Hi Armin,

I hope it is ok to upgrade libXtst, please let me know if you want to keep the same version and apply the patch instead of upgrade.

 The upgrade have only following changes:

https://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/lib/libXtst/
Age	Commit message	Author	Files	Lines
2016-10-04	libXtst 1.2.3HEADlibXtst-1.2.3master	Matthieu Herrb	1	-1/+1
2016-09-25	Out of boundary access and endless loop in libXtst	Tobias Stoeckmann	1	-4/+39
2013-11-23	Remove fallback for _XEatDataWords, require libX11 1.6 for it	Michael Joost	2	-18/+1
2013-05-31	libXtst 1.2.2libXtst-1.2.2

This does not affect master. According to Mitre this affects libXtst before 1.2.3:

Multiple integer overflows in X.org libXtst before 1.2.3 allow remote X servers to trigger out-of-bounds memory access operations by leveraging the lack of range checks.

Cheers
