A heap-based buffer over-read vulnerability was found in the X.org server's ProcAppleDRICreatePixmap() function. This issue occurs when byte-swapped length values are used in replies, potentially leading to memory leakage and segmentation faults, particularly when triggered by a client with a different endianness. This vulnerability could be exploited by an attacker to cause the X server to read heap memory values and then transmit them back to the client until encountering an unmapped page, resulting in a crash. Despite the attacker's inability to control the specific memory copied into the replies, the small length values typically stored in a 32-bit integer can result in significant attempted out-of-bounds reads.

The remote SUSE Linux SLED15 / SLED_SAP15 / SLES15 / SLES_SAP15 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2024:1261-1 advisory.

  - A heap-based buffer over-read vulnerability was found in the X.org server's ProcXIGetSelectedEvents()     function.

(CVE-2024-31080)

  - A heap-based buffer over-read vulnerability was found in the X.org server's ProcXIPassiveGrabDevice()     function.

(CVE-2024-31082)

  - A use-after-free vulnerability was found in the ProcRenderAddGlyphs() function of Xorg servers. This issue     occurs when AllocateGlyph() is called to store new glyphs sent by the client to the X server, potentially     resulting in multiple entries pointing to the same non-refcounted glyphs. Consequently,     ProcRenderAddGlyphs() may free a glyph, leading to a use-after-free scenario when the same glyph pointer     is subsequently accessed. This flaw allows an authenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code on the     system by sending a specially crafted request. (CVE-2024-31083)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

  - The X.Org project reports: The ProcXIGetSelectedEvents() function uses the byte-swapped     length of the return data for the amount of data to return to               the client, if the client has     a different endianness than               the X server. The ProcXIPassiveGrabDevice() function uses the     byte-swapped             length of the return data for the amount of data to return to             the     client, if the client has a different endianness than             the X server. The ProcRenderAddGlyphs()     function calls the AllocateGlyph()             function to store new glyphs sent by the client to the X     server.             AllocateGlyph() would return a new glyph with refcount=0 and             a re-used     glyph would end up not changing the refcount at all.             The resulting glyph_new array would thus     have multiple entries             pointing to the same non-refcounted glyphs.
    ProcRenderAddGlyphs() may free a glyph, resulting in a             use-after-free when the same glyph     pointer is then later used. (CVE-2024-31083)
