While I was backporting the CVE-2015-0255 fix from X.org to nx-libs, I noticed that there were a ton of Coverity fixes from 2006 in the X.org Xserver: http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver/log/?qt=grep&q=Coverity
I backported only one of them as a prereq for CVE-2015-0255: http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver/commit/?id=47bdc9528c2dd4ea9d59a094...
Thoughts/Comments?
This is very alike the general question whether bugfixes from Xorg should be backported to our current version of nx-libs.
My personal take on that is that this should be low-priority and backporting is fine when you have spare time on your hands (general "you".)
Within this list, I'd prioritize issues that could crash NX higher than those merely fixing memory leaks.

I agree.
