    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
    will install corrected packages

    You may use an automated update by adding the resources from the
    footer to the proper configuration.
