Red Hat: 2014:1983-01: xorg-x11-server: Important Advisory
Summary
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. (CVE-2014-8092, CVE-2014-8093,
CVE-2014-8098)
It was found that the X.Org server did not properly handle SUN-DES-1
(Secure RPC) authentication credentials. A malicious, unauthenticated
client could use this flaw to crash the X.Org server by submitting a
specially crafted authentication request. (CVE-2014-8091)
Multiple out-of-bounds access flaws were found in the way the X.Org server
calculated memory requirements for certain requests. A malicious,
authenticated client could use either of these flaws to crash the X.Org
server, or leak memory contents to the client. (CVE-2014-8097)
An integer overflow flaw was found in the way the X.Org server calculated
memory requirements for certain DRI2 extension requests. A malicious,
authenticated client could use this flaw to crash the X.Org server.
(CVE-2014-8094)
Multiple out-of-bounds access flaws were found in the way the X.Org server
calculated memory requirements for certain requests. A malicious,
authenticated client could use either of these flaws to crash the X.Org
server. (CVE-2014-8095, CVE-2014-8096, CVE-2014-8099, CVE-2014-8100,
CVE-2014-8101, CVE-2014-8102, CVE-2014-8103)
All xorg-x11-server users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages,
which contain backported patches to correct these issues.
