iDefense Security Advisory 02.08.08 - Remote exploitation of multiple stack-based buffer overflows in JavaScript methods in Adobe Reader and Acrobat could allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code as the current user. These issues exist due to insufficient input validation in several JavaScript methods. Inadequate checking is performed on the string length before it is copied into a fixed sized buffer on the stack. If an attacker supplies a long string, control structures on the stack may be modified, allowing the execution of arbitrary code. iDefense has confirmed these vulnerabilities exist in Adobe Reader 8.1 on Windows XP SP2. It is likely that other Adobe products that handle PDF files, including previous versions of Adobe Reader, are also affected.

iDefense Security Advisory 01.17.08 - Local exploitation of an invalid array index vulnerability in the X.Org X server, as included in various vendors' operating system distributions, could allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the X server, typically root. The vulnerability exists within the XFree86-Misc extension. When processing a request, a 32-bit value from the client's request is used as an index into an array of structures. This structure contains an array of function pointers, one of which is used later in the request handling. By supplying a large array index, an arbitrary function pointer can be dereferenced. This results in the execution of arbitrary code. iDefense has confirmed the existence of this vulnerability in X.org X11 version R7.3. Previous versions may also be affected.

iDefense Security Advisory 01.17.08 - Local exploitation of multiple integer overflow vulnerabilities in the X.Org X server, as included in various vendors' operating system distributions, could allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the X server, typically root. One vulnerability exists within the EVI extension. When processing a request, the server uses a 32-bit value provided by the client in an arithmetic operation that calculates the number of bytes to allocate for a dynamic buffer. This operation can overflow, which later leads to a potentially exploitable heap overflow. Another vulnerability exists within the MIT-SHM extension. When allocating a pixmap, the server uses values from the request to verify that the requested size is not greater than the amount of allocated shared memory. The calculation can overflow, which leads to the overwriting of arbitrary addresses in memory that aren't part of the shared memory segment. iDefense has confirmed the existence of these vulnerabilities in X.Org X11 version R7.3. Previous versions may also be affected.

iDefense Security Advisory 01.17.08 - Local exploitation of an information disclosure vulnerability in the X.Org X server, as included in various vendors' operating system distributions, could allow an attacker to gain access to sensitive information stored in server memory. The vulnerable code exists within the TOG-CUP extension. A 32-bit client supplied value is taken directly from the request, and then used as an index into an array. The value located at this index is then stored into a buffer which is later sent to the client. This allows a client to read memory from arbitrary locations in server memory. iDefense has confirmed the existence of this vulnerability in X.Org X11 version R7.3. Previous versions may also be affected.
