high Nessus Plugin ID 379850

Synopsis

The remote Amazon Linux 2023 host is missing a security update.

Description

It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2023-2026-3444 advisory.

A flaw in the X.Org Server's handling of EDID Display-Range descriptors can result in an out-of-bounds write, potentially leading to server crashes or memory corruption. (CVE-2026-109091)

A bounds-checking flaw in the X.Org Server's XvShmPutImage handling can result in an out-of-bounds read or write, potentially leading to server crashes or memory corruption. (CVE-2026-109092)

A flaw in the X.Org Server's XTestFakeInput handling can result in a stack out-of-bounds write, potentially leading to server crashes or stack memory corruption. (CVE-2026-109093)

An integer overflow flaw in the X.Org Server's glamor Xv image size computation can result in out-of- bounds reads, potentially leading to server crashes or unintended memory access. (CVE-2026-109095)

A flaw in the X.Org Server's XvPutImage length validation can allow requests with missing image data to be processed, potentially leading to server crashes or misbehavior. (CVE-2026-109096)

A flaw in the X.Org Server's XvQueryImageAttributes reply handling can result in clients receiving an incorrect data size value, potentially leading to improper buffer allocation or usage. (CVE-2026-109903)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the tested product 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

Run 'dnf update xorg-x11-server --releasever 2023.12.20261112' or or 'dnf update --advisory ALAS2023-2026-3444 --releasever 2023.12.20261112' to update your system.
