<title>X.Org X server and Xfont library: Multiple vulnerabilities</title>
|
|
<synopsis>
|
|
Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in the X.Org X server and
|
|
Xfont library, allowing for a local privilege escalation and arbitrary code
|
|
execution.

regenrecht reported multiple vulnerabilities in various X server
|
|
extension via iDefense:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>The XFree86-Misc extension does not properly sanitize a parameter
|
|
within a PassMessage request, allowing the modification of a function
|
|
pointer (CVE-2007-5760).</li>
|
|
<li>Multiple functions in the XInput extension do not properly sanitize
|
|
client requests for swapping bytes, leading to corruption of heap
|
|
memory (CVE-2007-6427).</li>
|
|
<li>Integer overflow vulnerabilities in the EVI extension and in the
|
|
MIT-SHM extension can lead to buffer overflows (CVE-2007-6429).</li>
|
|
<li>The TOG-CUP extension does not sanitize an index value in the
|
|
ProcGetReservedColormapEntries() function, leading to arbitrary memory
|
|
access (CVE-2007-6428).</li>
|
|
<li>A buffer overflow was discovered in the Xfont library when
|
|
processing PCF font files (CVE-2008-0006).</li>
|
|
<li>The X server does not enforce restrictions when a user specifies a
|
|
security policy file and attempts to open it (CVE-2007-5958).</li>
|
|
</ul>

<impact type="high">
|
|
<p>
|
|
Remote attackers could exploit the vulnerability in the Xfont library
|
|
by enticing a user to load a specially crafted PCF font file resulting
|
|
in the execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the user
|
|
running the X server, typically root. Local attackers could exploit
|
|
this and the vulnerabilities in the X.org extensions to gain elevated
|
|
privileges. If the X server allows connections from the network, these
|
|
vulnerabilities could be exploited remotely. A local attacker could
|
|
determine the existence of arbitrary files by exploiting the last
|
|
vulnerability or possibly cause a Denial of Service.

|
<workaround>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Workarounds for some of the vulnerabilities can be found in the X.Org
|
|
security advisory as listed under References.

All X.Org X server users should upgrade to the latest version:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<code>
|
|
# emerge --sync
|
|
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=x11-base/xorg-server-1.3.0.0-r5"</code>
|
|
<p>
|
|
All X.Org Xfont library users should upgrade to the latest version:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<code>
|
|
# emerge --sync
|
|
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=x11-libs/libXfont-1.3.1-r1"</code>
