Slackware: 2017-227-01 Critical: Xorg-Server Stack Overflow Risk

slackware
Calendar Grey August 16, 2017
Dist Slackware Esm H88
Updated xorg-server versions released for Slackware addressing urgent security vulnerabilities impacting several distributions.
New xorg-server packages are available for Slackware 13.0, 13.1, 13.37, 14.0, 14.1, 14.2, and -current to fix security issues

Summary

Here are the details from the Slackware 14.2 ChangeLog: patches/packages/xorg-server-1.18.3-i586-3_slack14.2.txz: Rebuilt. This update fixes two security issues: A user authenticated to an X Session could crash or execute code in the context of the X Server by exploiting a stack overflow in the endianness conversion of X Events. Uninitialized data in endianness conversion in the XEvent handling of the X.Org X Server allowed authenticated malicious users to access potentially privileged data from the X server. For more information, see: https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2017-10971 https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2017-10972 (* Security fix *) patches/packages/xorg-server-xephyr-1.18.3-i586-3_slack14.2.txz: Rebuilt. patches/packages/xorg-server-xnest-1.18.3-i586-3_slack14.2.txz: Rebuilt. patches/packages/xorg-server-xvfb-1.18.3-i586-3_slack14.2.txz: Rebuilt.
