TencentOS Server 3: xorg-x11-server (TSSA-2023:0102)

high Nessus Plugin ID 239887

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-2023:0102 advisory.

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

 CVE-2022-46340:
 A vulnerability was found in X.Org. The issue occurs due to the swap handler for the XTestFakeInput request of the XTest extension, possibly corrupting the stack if GenericEvents with lengths larger than 32 bytes are sent through the XTestFakeInput request. This flaw can lead to local privilege elevation on systems where the X server runs privileged and remote code execution for ssh X forwarding sessions. This issue does not affect systems where the client and server use the same byte order.
 CVE-2022-4283:
 A vulnerability was found in X.Org. This issue occurs because the XkbCopyNames function leaves a dangling pointer to freed memory, resulting in out-of-bounds memory access on subsequent XkbGetKbdByName requests. This flaw can lead to local privilege elevation on systems where the X server runs privileged and remote code execution for ssh X forwarding sessions.
 CVE-2022-46340:
 A vulnerability was found in X.Org. The issue occurs due to the swap handler for the XTestFakeInput request of the XTest extension, possibly corrupting the stack if GenericEvents with lengths larger than 32 bytes are sent through the XTestFakeInput request. This flaw can lead to local privilege elevation on systems where the X server runs privileged and remote code execution for ssh X forwarding sessions. This issue does not affect systems where the client and server use the same byte order.
 CVE-2022-46341:
 A vulnerability was found in X.Org. This issue occurs because the handler for the XIPassiveUngrab request accesses out-of-bounds memory when invoked with a high keycode or button code. This flaw can lead to local privilege elevation on systems where the X server runs privileged and remote code execution for ssh X forwarding sessions.
 CVE-2022-46342:
 A vulnerability was found in X.Org. This flaw occurs because the handler for the XvdiSelectVideoNotify request may write to memory after it has been freed. This flaw can lead to local privilege elevation on systems where the X server runs privileged and remote code execution for ssh X forwarding sessions.
 CVE-2022-46343:
 A vulnerability was found in X.Org. This issue occurs because the handler for the ScreenSaverSetAttributes request may write to memory after it has been freed. This flaw can lead to local privileges elevation on systems where the X server runs privileged and remote code execution for ssh X forwarding sessions.
 CVE-2022-46344:
 A vulnerability was found in X.Org. The issue occurs because the handler for the XIChangeProperty request has a length-validation issue, resulting in out-of-bounds memory reads and potential information disclosure. This flaw can lead to local privilege elevation on systems where the X server runs privileged and remote code execution for ssh X forwarding sessions.

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
