Red Hat Security Advisory 2014-1982-01

Posted Dec 11, 2014

Authored by Red Hat | Site access.redhat.com

Red Hat Security Advisory 2014-1982-01 - X.Org is an open source implementation of the X Window System. It provides the basic low-level functionality that full-fledged graphical user interfaces are designed upon. Multiple integer overflow flaws and out-of-bounds write flaws were found in the way the X.Org server calculated memory requirements for certain X11 core protocol and GLX extension requests. A malicious, authenticated client could use either of these flaws to crash the X.Org server or, potentially, execute arbitrary code with root privileges.
