An open-source security audit program funded by the US Department of Homeland Security has flagged a critical vulnerability in the X Window System which is used in Unix and Linux systems. Coverity, the San Franciso-based company managing the project under a $1.25 million grant, described the flaw as the "biggest security vulnerability" found in the X Window System code since 2000.

Normally, but here a function and a variable had the same name "foo". So:
if (foo=0){do something}
should have been:
if (foo()=0){do something}
