=====================================================================

 

1. Summary:

 

Updated XFree86 packages that fix several security issues are now available

for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 2.1.

 

This update has been rated as having important security impact by the Red

Hat Security Response Team.

 

2. Relevant releases/architectures:

 

Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS (Advanced Server) version 2.1 - i386, ia64

Red Hat Linux Advanced Workstation 2.1 - ia64

Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES version 2.1 - i386

3. Description:

 

XFree86 is an implementation of the X Window System, which provides the

core functionality for the Linux graphical desktop.

 

An input validation flaw was discovered in X.org's Security and Record

extensions. A malicious authorized client could exploit this issue to cause

a denial of service (crash) or, potentially, execute arbitrary code with

root privileges on the X.Org server. (CVE-2008-1377)

 

An integer overflow flaw was found in X.org's Render extension. A malicious

authorized client could exploit this issue to cause a denial of service

(crash) or, potentially, execute arbitrary code with root privileges on the

X.Org server. (CVE-2008-2360)

 

An input validation flaw was discovered in X.org's MIT-SHM extension. A

client connected to the X.org server could read arbitrary server memory.

This could result in the sensitive data of other users of the X.org server

being disclosed. (CVE-2008-1379)

 

Users of XFree86 are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which

contain backported patches to resolve these issues.

 

4. Solution:
