xorg-server: multiple vulnerabilities

Package(s):xorg-server CVE #(s):CVE-2014-8091 CVE-2014-8092 CVE-2014-8093 CVE-2014-8094 CVE-2014-8095 CVE-2014-8096 CVE-2014-8097 CVE-2014-8098 CVE-2014-8099 CVE-2014-8100 CVE-2014-8101 CVE-2014-8102 CVE-2014-8103
Created:December 10, 2014 Updated:January 15, 2015
Description: From the X.org advisory:

Ilja van Sprundel, a security researcher with IOActive, has discovered a large number of issues in the way the X server code base handles requests from X clients, and has worked with X.Org's security team to analyze, confirm, and fix these issues.

The vulnerabilities could be exploited to cause the X server to access uninitialized memory or overwrite arbitrary memory in the X server process. This can cause a denial of service (e.g., an X server segmentation fault), or could be exploited to achieve arbitrary code execution.
