X.org libXtst before 1.2.3 allows remote X servers to cause a denial of service (infinite loop) via a reply in the (1) XRecordStartOfData, (2) XRecordEndOfData, or (3) XRecordClientDied category without a client sequence and with attached data.

According to the versions of the libXtst package installed, the EulerOS Virtualization for ARM 64 installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - X.org libXtst before 1.2.3 allows remote X servers to     cause a denial of service (infinite loop) via a reply     in the (1) XRecordStartOfData, (2) XRecordEndOfData, or     (3) XRecordClientDied category without a client     sequence and with attached data.(CVE-2016-7952)

  - Multiple integer overflows in X.org libXtst before     1.2.3 allow remote X servers to trigger out-of-bounds     memory access operations by leveraging the lack of     range checks.(CVE-2016-7951)

This update for xorg-x11-libs fixes the following issues :

  - insufficient validation of data from the X server can     cause a one byte buffer read underrun (bsc#1003023,     CVE-2016-7953)

  - insufficient validation of data from the X server can     cause out of boundary memory access or endless loops     (Denial of Service) (bsc#1003012, CVE-2016-7951,     CVE-2016-7952)

  - insufficient validation of data from the X server can     cause out of boundary memory writes (bsc#1003000,     CVE-2016-7947, CVE-2016-7948)

  - insufficient validation of data from the X server can     cause out of boundary memory access or endless loops     (Denial of Service). (bsc#1002998, CVE-2016-7945,     CVE-2016-7946)

This update of libXtst fixes the following security issue :

  - malicious data sent from an untrusted or compromised X     server could cause out of boundary memory access or     endless loops (Denial of Service). (boo#1003012,     CVE-2016-7951, CVE-2016-7952)

This update for the X Window System client libraries fixes a class of privilege escalation issues. A malicious X Server could send specially crafted data to X clients, which allowed for triggering crashes, or privilege escalation if this relationship was untrusted or crossed user or permission level boundaries. libX11, libXfixes, libXi, libXrandr, libXrender, libXtst, libXv, libXvMC were fixed, specifically: libX11 :

New x11 packages are available for Slackware 13.0, 13.1, 13.37, 14.0, 14.1, 14.2, and -current to fix security issues.

Tobias Stoeckmann from the OpenBSD project discovered the following vulnerability in libXtst, the X Record extension :

Insufficient validation of data from the X server can cause out of boundary memory access or endless loops (Denial of Service).

For Debian 7 'Wheezy', these problems have been fixed in version 2:1.2.1-1+deb7u2.

We recommend that you upgrade your libxtst packages.
