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. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
