X.org : Security Vulnerabilities, CVEs, (Memory corruption) CVSS score >= 9

A flaw was found in X.Org server. Both DeviceFocusEvent and the XIQueryPointer reply contain a bit for each logical button currently down. Buttons can be arbitrarily mapped to any value up to 255, but the X.Org Server was only allocating space for the device's particular number of buttons, leading to a heap overflow if a bigger value was used.

An issue was discovered in libX11 through 1.6.5. The function XListExtensions in ListExt.c interprets a variable as signed instead of unsigned, resulting in an out-of-bounds write (of up to 128 bytes), leading to DoS or remote code execution.

Multiple integer overflows in libXpm before 3.5.12, when a program requests parsing XPM extensions on a 64-bit platform, allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds write) or execute arbitrary code via (1) the number of extensions or (2) their concatenated length in a crafted XPM file, which triggers a heap-based buffer overflow.

The XRenderQueryFilters function in X.org libXrender before 0.9.10 allows remote X servers to trigger out-of-bounds write operations via vectors involving filter name lengths.

Multiple buffer overflows in the (1) XvQueryAdaptors and (2) XvQueryEncodings functions in X.org libXrender before 0.9.10 allow remote X servers to trigger out-of-bounds write operations via vectors involving length fields.

X.org libXrandr before 1.5.1 allows remote X servers to trigger out-of-bounds write operations by leveraging mishandling of reply data.

Multiple integer overflows in X.org libXrandr before 1.5.1 allow remote X servers to trigger out-of-bounds write operations via a crafted response.

The XListFonts function in X.org libX11 before 1.6.4 might allow remote X servers to gain privileges via vectors involving length fields, which trigger out-of-bounds write operations.

The XGetImage function in X.org libX11 before 1.6.4 might allow remote X servers to gain privileges via vectors involving image type and geometry, which triggers out-of-bounds read operations.

The XInput extension in X.Org Xserver before 1.4.1 allows context-dependent attackers to execute arbitrary code via requests related to byte swapping and heap corruption within multiple functions, a different vulnerability than CVE-2007-4990.

Integer overflow in ALLOCATE_LOCAL in the ProcXCMiscGetXIDList function in the XC-MISC extension in the X.Org X11 server (xserver) 7.1-1.1.0, and other versions before 20070403, allows remote authenticated users to execute arbitrary code via a large expression, which results in memory corruption.

Integer overflow in the ProcDbeGetVisualInfo function in the DBE extension for X.Org 6.8.2, 6.9.0, 7.0, and 7.1, and XFree86 X server, allows local users to execute arbitrary code via a crafted X protocol request that triggers memory corruption during processing of unspecified data structures.
