Red Hat Security Advisory

 

Synopsis: Important: xorg-x11-server security update

Advisory ID: RHSA-2008:0504-01

Product: Red Hat Enterprise Linux

Advisory URL: https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2008-0504.html

Issue date: 2008-06-11

CVE Names: CVE-2008-1377 CVE-2008-1379 CVE-2008-2360

CVE-2008-2361 CVE-2008-2362

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

 

1. Summary:

 

Updated xorg-x11-server packages that fix several security issues are now

available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.

 

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 Desktop (v. 5 client) - i386, x86_64

RHEL Desktop Workstation (v. 5 client) - i386, x86_64

Red Hat Enterprise Linux (v. 5 server) - i386, ia64, ppc, s390x, x86_64

 

3. Description:

 

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.

 

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)

 

Multiple integer overflow flaws were found in X.org's Render extension. A

malicious authorized client could exploit these issues to cause a denial of

service (crash) or, potentially, execute arbitrary code with root

privileges on the X.Org server. (CVE-2008-2360, CVE-2008-2361,

CVE-2008-2362)

 

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 xorg-x11-server should upgrade to these updated packages, which

contain backported patches to resolve these issues.

 

4. Solution:

 

Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released

errata relevant to your system have been applied.
