Information leak in the processing of XKB requests (CVE-2015-0255)
Comment 1 Arvid Requate univentionstaff 2015-04-30 19:36:07 CEST
Fix available in Debian version 2:1.12.4-6+deb7u6
Comment 2 Arvid Requate univentionstaff 2017-08-07 15:37:33 CEST
Upstream Debian package version 2:1.12.4-6+deb7u7 fixes:

* In the X.Org X server before 2017-06-19, a user authenticated to an X Session could crash or execute code in the context of the X Server by exploiting a stack overflow in the endianness conversion of X Events. (CVE-2017-10971)

* Uninitialized data in endianness conversion in the XEvent handling of the X.Org X Server before 2017-06-19 allowed authenticated malicious users to access potentially privileged data from the X server. (CVE-2017-10972)
