X.Org is an open source implementation of the X Window System. It provides basic low-level functionality that full-fledged graphical user interfaces are designed upon. Two integer overflow flaws were found in the X.Org server's EVI and MIT-SHM modules. A malicious authorized client could exploit these issues to cause a denial of service (crash), or potentially execute arbitrary code with root privileges on the X.Org server. (CVE-2007-6429) A memory corruption flaw was found in the X.Org server's XInput extension. A malicious authorized client could exploit this issue to cause a denial of service (crash), or potentially execute arbitrary code with root privileges on the X.Org server. (CVE-2007-6427) An input validation flaw was found in the X.Org server's XFree86-Misc extension. A malicious authorized client could exploit this issue to cause a denial of service (crash), or potentially execute arbitrary code with root privileges on the X.Org server. (CVE-2007-5760) An information disclosure flaw was found in the X.Org server's TOG-CUP extension. A malicious authorized client could exploit this issue to cause a denial of service (crash), or potentially view arbitrary memory content within the X server's address space. (CVE-2007-6428) A flaw was found in the X.Org server's XC-SECURITY extension, that could have allowed a local user to verify the existence of an arbitrary file, even in directories that are not normally accessible to that user. (CVE-2007-5958) Users of xorg-x11-server should upgrade to these updated packages, which contain backported patches to resolve these issues.
