    Package : x11-xserver-utils
    Vulnerability : missing input sanitization
    Problem type : remote
    Debian-specific: no
    CVE ID : CVE-2011-0465
    Debian bug : 621423

    Sebastian Krahmer discovered that the xrdb utility of x11-xserver-utils,
    a X server resource database utility, is not properly filtering crafted hostnames. This allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code with
    root privileges given that either remote logins via xdmcp are allowed or
    the attacker is able to place a rogue DHCP server into the victims network.


    The oldstable distribution (lenny), this problem has been fixed in
    version 7.3+6.

    For the stable distribution (squeeze), this problem has been fixed in
    version 7.5+3.

    For the testing distribution (wheezy), this problem will be fixed soon.

    For the testing distribution (sid), this problem has been fixed in
    version 7.6+2.


    We recommend that you upgrade your x11-xserver-utils packages.
