<title>X.org and some X.org libraries: Local privilege escalations</title>
<synopsis>
X.org, libX11, xdm, xf86dga, xinit, xload, xtrans, and xterm are vulnerable
to local privilege escalations because of unchecked setuid() calls.

X.org is an implementation of the X Window System.
</p>
</background>
<description>
<p>
Several X.org libraries and X.org itself contain system calls to
set*uid() functions, without checking their result.
</p>
</description>
<impact type="high">
<p>
Local users could deliberately exceed their assigned resource limits
and elevate their privileges after an unsuccessful set*uid() system
call. This requires resource limits to be enabled on the machine.
</p>
</impact>
<workaround>
<p>
There is no known workaround at this time.
