Add upstream patches fixing the following security issues:
CVE-2017-10971:
The endianess handling for X Events assumed a fixed size of X Event structures and
had a specific 32 byte stack buffer for that.
However "GenericEvents" can have any size, so if the events were sent in the wrong
endianess, this stack buffer could be overflowed easily.
So authenticated X users could overflow the stack in the X Server and with the X
server usually running as root gaining root prileveges.
CVE-2017-10972:
An information leak out of the X server due to an uninitialized stack area when swapping
event endianess.

Buildroot is a simple, efficient and easy-to-use tool to generate embedded Linux systems through cross-compilation. The documentation can be found in docs/manual. You can generate a text document with 'make manual-text' and read output/docs/manual/manual.text. Online documentation can be found at http://buildroot.org/docs.html To build and use the buildroot stuff, do the following: 1) run 'make menuconfig' 2) select the target architecture and the packages you wish to compile 3) run 'make' 4) wait while it compiles 5) find the kernel, bootloader, root filesystem, etc. in output/images You do not need to be root to build or run buildroot. Have fun! Buildroot comes with a basic configuration for a number of boards. Run 'make list-defconfigs' to view the list of provided configurations. Please feed suggestions, bug reports, insults, and bribes back to the buildroot mailing list: buildroot@buildroot.org You can also find us on #buildroot on Freenode IRC.
