Author: Michal Srb Subject: Xi: Do not try to swap GenericEvent. Git-commit: ba336b24052122b136486961c82deac76bbde455 Patch-mainline: Upstream References: bnc#1035283 CVE-2017-10971 The SProcXSendExtensionEvent must not attempt to swap GenericEvent because it is assuming that the event has fixed size and gives the swapping function xEvent-sized buffer. A GenericEvent would be later rejected by ProcXSendExtensionEvent anyway.
