MiracleLinux 3 : xorg-x11-server-1.1.1-48.26.5.3AXS3 (AXSA:2008-80:01)

critical Nessus Plugin ID 283986

Synopsis

The remote MiracleLinux host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

The remote MiracleLinux 3 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the AXSA:2008-80:01 advisory.

X.Org is an open source implementation of the X Window System. It provides basic low-level functionality that full-fledged graphical user interfaces are designed upon.
Bugs fixed:
CVE-2008-1377 The (1) SProcRecordCreateContext and (2) SProcRecordRegisterClients functions in the Record extension and the (3) SProcSecurityGenerateAuthorization function in the Security extension in the X server 1.4 in X.Org X11R7.3 allow context-dependent attackers to execute arbitrary code via requests with crafted length values that specify an arbitrary number of bytes to be swapped on the heap, which triggers heap corruption.
CVE-2008-1379 Integer overflow in the fbShmPutImage function in the MIT-SHM extension in the X server 1.4 in X.Org X11R7.3 allows context-dependent attackers to read arbitrary process memory via crafted values for a Pixmap width and height.
CVE-2008-2360 Integer overflow in the AllocateGlyph function in the Render extension in the X server 1.4 in X.Org X11R7.3 allows context-dependent attackers to execute arbitrary code via unspecified request fields that are used to calculate a heap buffer size, which triggers a heap-based buffer overflow.
CVE-2008-2361 Integer overflow in the ProcRenderCreateCursor function in the Render extension in the X server 1.4 in X.Org X11R7.3 allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (daemon crash) via unspecified request fields that are used to calculate a glyph buffer size, which triggers a dereference of unmapped memory.
CVE-2008-2362 Multiple integer overflows in the Render extension in the X server 1.4 in X.Org X11R7.3 allow context- dependent attackers to execute arbitrary code via a (1) SProcRenderCreateLinearGradient, (2) SProcRenderCreateRadialGradient, or (3) SProcRenderCreateConicalGradient request with an invalid field specifying the number of bytes to swap in the request data, which triggers heap memory corruption.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the MiracleLinux 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.
