MiracleLinux 4 : xorg-x11-server-1.13.0-23.1.0.1.AXS4 (AXSA:2014-075:01)

high Nessus Plugin ID 289080

Synopsis

The remote MiracleLinux host is missing a security update.

Description

The remote MiracleLinux 4 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the AXSA:2014-075:01 advisory.

 X.Org X11 X server Security issues fixed with this release:
 CVE-2013-1940 X.Org X server before 1.13.4 and 1.4.x before 1.14.1 does not properly restrict access to input events when adding a new hot-plug device, which might allow physically proximate attackers to obtain sensitive information, as demonstrated by reading passwords from a tty.
 CVE-2013-6424 Integer underflow in the xTrapezoidValid macro in render/picture.h in X.Org allows context-dependent attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via a negative bottom value.
 Fixed bug :
 Fixed the aspect ratio when using a tablet in relative mode: the horizontal and vertical movement ratio of the cursor did not match the ratio of the stylus.
 When the Xephyr X server was made resizable with a previous update, the resize functionality was not on by default. This has been fixed and X sandboxes are now resizable.
 The X Access Control Extension (XACE) replaces the X Security extension (XC-SECURITY) in Asianux Server 4. However, XACE does not have all the functionalities of XC-SECURITY so XC-SECURITY is enabled again in the xorg-x11-server spec file.
 An error in the upstream code disabled the GLX extension in Xvfb, preventing headless 3D applications from working correctly. This has been fixed.

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

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

Solution

Update the affected xorg-x11-server-Xephyr, xorg-x11-server-Xorg and / or xorg-x11-server-common packages.
