TencentOS Server 3: libX11 (TSSA-2024:0180)

high Nessus Plugin ID 239210

Synopsis

The remote TencentOS Server 3 host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

The version of Tencent Linux installed on the remote TencentOS Server 3 host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the TSSA-2024:0180 advisory.

Package updates are available for TencentOS Server 3 that fix the following vulnerabilities:

CVE-2023-43785:
A vulnerability was found in libX11 due to a boundary condition within the _XkbReadKeySyms() function.
This flaw allows a local user to trigger an out-of-bounds read error and read the contents of memory on the system.

CVE-2023-43786:
A vulnerability was found in libX11 due to an infinite loop within the PutSubImage() function. This flaw allows a local user to consume all available system resources and cause a denial of service condition.

CVE-2023-43787:
A vulnerability was found in libX11 due to an integer overflow within the XCreateImage() function. This flaw allows a local user to trigger an integer overflow and execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Tencent Linux security advisory.

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

Solution

Update the affected packages.
