MGASA-2013-0190 - Updated mesa packages fix multiple vulnerabilties

Publication date: 26 Jun 2013
URL: http://advisories.mageia.org/MGASA-2013-0190.html
Type: security
Affected Mageia releases: 2
CVE: CVE-2013-1872,
     CVE-2013-1993

Description:
An out-of-bounds access flaw was found in Mesa. If an application using
Mesa exposed the Mesa API to untrusted inputs (Mozilla Firefox does
this), an attacker could cause the application to crash or, potentially,
execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the
application (CVE-2013-1872).

It was found that Mesa did not correctly validate messages from the X
server. A malicious X server could cause an application using Mesa to
crash or, potentially, execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the
user running the application (CVE-2013-1993).
