Upgrade Debian:8
libx11

NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream libx11
package and not the libx11
package as distributed by Debian
.
See How to fix?
for Debian:8
relevant fixed versions and status.
The Xinput module (modules/im/ximcp/imLcIm.c) in X.Org libX11 1.0.2 and 1.0.3 opens a file for reading twice using the same file descriptor, which causes a file descriptor leak that allows local users to read files specified by the XCOMPOSEFILE environment variable via the duplicate file descriptor.
