| Description: | X.org is an open source implementation of the X Window System. It provides the basic low-level functionality that full-fledged graphical user interfaces are designed upon.
iDefense reported an integer overflow flaw in the X.org XC-MISC extension. A malicious authorized client could exploit this issue to cause a denial of service (crash) or potentially execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the X.org server. (CVE-2007-1003)
iDefense reported two integer overflows in the way X.org handled various font files. A malicious local user could exploit these issues to potentially execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the X.org server. (CVE-2007-1351, CVE-2007-1352)
An integer overflow flaw was found in the X.org XGetPixel() function. Improper use of this function could cause an application calling it to function improperly, possibly leading to a crash or arbitrary code execution. (CVE-2007-1667)
Users of X.org should upgrade to these updated packages, which contain a backported patch and are not vulnerable to these issues.
