OpenSUSE Leap 15.3: 2021-091-02 High: LibAudio Buffer Overflow

slackware
Calendar Grey October 18, 2017
Dist Slackware Esm H88
Recent libXres updates issued to address security vulnerabilities related to buffer overflow concerns in various Slackware editions.
New libXres packages are available for Slackware 14.1, 14.2, and -current to fix a security issue

Summary

Here are the details from the Slackware 14.2 ChangeLog: patches/packages/libXres-1.2.0-i586-1_slack14.2.txz: Upgraded. Integer overflows may allow X servers to trigger allocation of insufficient memory and a buffer overflow via vectors related to the (1) XResQueryClients and (2) XResQueryClientResources functions. For more information, see: https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2013-1988 (* Security fix *)
