https://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2016-7953
Patch copied from upstream source repository:
https://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/lib/libXvMC/commit/?id=2cd95e7da8367cccdcdd5c9b160012d1dec5cbdb
From 2cd95e7da8367cccdcdd5c9b160012d1dec5cbdb Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001

Subject: [PATCH] Avoid buffer underflow on empty strings.
If an empty string is received from an x-server, do not underrun the
buffer by accessing "rep.nameLen - 1" unconditionally, which could end
up being -1.
