Alpine: multiple libx11 packages: security update to 1.5.0-r0 (deprecated)
high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 401240
Description
There are packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities referenced in the following CVEs:- Multiple integer overflows in X.org libX11 1.5.99.901 (1.6 RC1) and earlier allow X servers to trigger
allocation of insufficient memory and a buffer overflow via vectors related to the (1) XQueryFont, (2)
_XF86BigfontQueryFont, (3) XListFontsWithInfo, (4) XGetMotionEvents, (5) XListHosts, (6)
XGetModifierMapping, (7) XGetPointerMapping, (8) XGetKeyboardMapping, (9) XGetWindowProperty, (10)
XGetImage, (11) LoadColornameDB, (12) XrmGetFileDatabase, (13) _XimParseStringFile, or (14) TransFileName
functions. (CVE-2013-1981)
- Multiple buffer overflows in X.org libX11 1.5.99.901 (1.6 RC1) and earlier allow X servers to cause a
denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via crafted length or index values to the
(1) XAllocColorCells, (2) _XkbReadGetDeviceInfoReply, (3) _XkbReadGeomShapes, (4)
_XkbReadGetGeometryReply, (5) _XkbReadKeySyms, (6) _XkbReadKeyActions, (7) _XkbReadKeyBehaviors, (8)
_XkbReadModifierMap, (9) _XkbReadExplicitComponents, (10) _XkbReadVirtualModMap, (11)
_XkbReadGetNamesReply, (12) _XkbReadGetMapReply, (13) _XimXGetReadData, (14) XListFonts, (15)
XListExtensions, and (16) XGetFontPath functions. (CVE-2013-1997)
- The (1) GetDatabase and (2) _XimParseStringFile functions in X.org libX11 1.5.99.901 (1.6 RC1) and earlier
do not restrict the recursion depth when processing directives to include files, which allows X servers to
cause a denial of service (stack consumption) via a crafted file. (CVE-2013-2004)
