The security vulnerability that triggered this is listed here:

and the xterm changelog entry for it is here:

It looks like we need to add the lines below to the bottom of
/usr/share/tn5250/XTerm, or wherever it gets installed, although I don't
know if this will work with all the patched versions of xterm:

xt5250.VT100*allowWindowOps: True
xt5250.VT100*allowFontOps: True

Thanks, that fixes it on Ubuntu 8.04 (GNOME) as well. It's great to
have this terminal emulator, it's one of those things you use every day
and never give a thought to until something like this comes up.
