Package : xorg-server
Vulnerability : several
Problem type : local
Debian-specific: no
CVE Id(s) : CVE-2008-1377 CVE-2008-1379 CVE-2008-2360 CVE-2008-2361
CVE-2008-2362

Several local vulnerabilities have been discovered in the X Window system.
The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the following
problems:

CVE-2008-1377

Lack of validation of the parameters of the
SProcSecurityGenerateAuthorization SProcRecordCreateContext
functions makes it possible for a specially crafted request to trigger
the swapping of bytes outside the parameter of these requests, causing
memory corruption.

CVE-2008-1379

An integer overflow in the validation of the parameters of the
ShmPutImage() request makes it possible to trigger the copy of
arbitrary server memory to a pixmap that can subsequently be read by
the client, to read arbitrary parts of the X server memory space.

CVE-2008-2360

An integer overflow may occur in the computation of the size of the
glyph to be allocated by the AllocateGlyph() function which will cause
less memory to be allocated than expected, leading to later heap
overflow.

CVE-2008-2361

An integer overflow may occur in the computation of the size of the
glyph to be allocated by the ProcRenderCreateCursor() function which
will cause less memory to be allocated than expected, leading later
to dereferencing un-mapped memory, causing a crash of the X server.

CVE-2008-2362

Integer overflows can also occur in the code validating the parameters
for the SProcRenderCreateLinearGradient, SProcRenderCreateRadialGradient
and SProcRenderCreateConicalGradient functions, leading to memory
corruption by swapping bytes outside of the intended request
parameters.

For the stable distribution (etch), these problems have been fixed in version
2:1.1.1-21etch5.

For the unstable distribution (sid), these problems have been fixed in
version 2:1.4.1~git20080517-2.

We recommend that you upgrade your xorg-server package.

Upgrade instructions
- --------------------

wget url
will fetch the file for you
dpkg -i file.deb
will install the referenced file.

If you are using the apt-get package manager, use the line for
sources.list as given below:

apt-get update
will update the internal database
apt-get upgrade
