<background>
<p>
The X Window System is a graphical windowing system based on a
client/server model.
</p>
</background>
<description>
<p>
Multiple memory corruption vulnerabilities have been found in the
ProcDbeGetVisualInfo() and the ProcDbeSwapBuffers() of the DBE
extension, and ProcRenderAddGlyphs() in the Render extension.
</p>
</description>
<impact type="normal">
<p>
A local attacker could execute arbitrary code with the privileges of
the user running the X server, typically root.
</p>
</impact>
<workaround>
<p>
Disable the DBE extension by removing the "Load dbe" directive in the
Module section of xorg.conf, and explicitly disable the Render
extension with ' Option "RENDER" "disable" ' in the Extensions section.
</p>
<p>
Note: This could affect the functionality of some applications.
</p>
</workaround>
<resolution>
<p>
All X.Org X server users should upgrade to the latest version:
</p>
<code>
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose &quot;&gt;=x11-base/xorg-server-1.1.1-r4&quot;</code>
</resolution>
