Multiple integer overflow flaws, leading to heap-based buffer overflows, were found in the way various X11 client libraries handled certain protocol data. An attacker able to submit invalid protocol data to an X11 server via a malicious X11 client could use either of these flaws to potentially escalate their privileges on the system.
(CVE-2013-1981 , CVE-2013-1982 , CVE-2013-1983 , CVE-2013-1984 , CVE-2013-1985 , CVE-2013-1986 , CVE-2013-1987 , CVE-2013-1988 , CVE-2013-1989 , CVE-2013-1990 , CVE-2013-1991 , CVE-2013-2003 , CVE-2013-2062 , CVE-2013-2064)

Multiple array index errors, leading to heap-based buffer out-of-bounds write flaws, were found in the way various X11 client libraries handled data returned from an X11 server. A malicious X11 server could possibly use this flaw to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running an X11 client. (CVE-2013-1997 , CVE-2013-1998 , CVE-2013-1999 , CVE-2013-2000 , CVE-2013-2001 , CVE-2013-2002 , CVE-2013-2066)

Two stack-based buffer overflow flaws were found in the way libX11, the Core X11 protocol client library, processed certain user-specified files. A malicious X11 server could possibly use this flaw to crash an X11 client via a specially crafted file. (CVE-2013-2004)

Updated X11 client libraries packages that fix multiple security issues, several bugs, and add various enhancements are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.

Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having Moderate security impact. Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base scores, which give detailed severity ratings, are available for each vulnerability from the CVE links in the References section.

The X11 (Xorg) libraries provide library routines that are used within all X Window applications.

The xkeyboard-config package has been upgraded to upstream version 2.11, which provides a number of bug fixes and enhancements over the previous version. (BZ#1077471)

This update also fixes the following bugs :

* Previously, updating the mesa-libGL package did not update the libX11 package, although it was listed as a dependency of mesa-libGL.
This bug has been fixed and updating mesa-libGL now updates all dependent packages as expected. (BZ#1054614)

* Previously, closing a customer application could occasionally cause the X Server to terminate unexpectedly. After this update, the X Server no longer hangs when a user closes a customer application.
(BZ#971626)

All X11 client libraries users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which correct these issues and add these enhancements.

This update of xorg-x11-libs fixes several integer and buffer overflow issues. (bnc#815451, bnc#821663)

Ilja van Sprundel discovered multiple security issues in various X.org libraries and components. An attacker could use these issues to cause applications to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code.

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

freedesktop.org reports :

Ilja van Sprundel, a security researcher with IOActive, has discovered a large number of issues in the way various X client libraries handle the responses they receive from servers, and has worked with X.Org's security team to analyze, confirm, and fix these issues.

Most of these issues stem from the client libraries trusting the server to send correct protocol data, and not verifying that the values will not overflow or cause other damage. Most of the time X clients & servers are run by the same user, with the server more privileged from the clients, so this is not a problem, but there are scenarios in which a privileged client can be connected to an unprivileged server, for instance, connecting a setuid X client (such as a screen lock program) to a virtual X server (such as Xvfb or Xephyr) which the user has modified to return invalid data, potentially allowing the user to escalate their privileges.

The vulnerabilities include :

Integer overflows calculating memory needs for replies.

Sign extension issues calculating memory needs for replies.

Buffer overflows due to not validating length or offset values in replies.

Integer overflows parsing user-specified files.

Unbounded recursion parsing user-specified files.

Memory corruption due to unchecked return values.

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Fedora security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Ilja van Sprundel of IOActive discovered several security issues in multiple components of the X.org graphics stack and the related libraries: Various integer overflows, sign handling errors in integer conversions, buffer overflows, memory corruption and missing input sanitising may lead to privilege escalation or denial of service.
