| 61534682-b8f4-11da-8e62-000e0c33c2dc | xorg-server -- privilege escalation
Daniel Stone of X.Org reports:
During the analysis of results from the Coverity code review
of X.Org, we discovered a flaw in the server that allows local
users to execute arbitrary code with root privileges, or cause
a denial of service by overwriting files on the system, again
with root privileges.

| 800e8bd5-3acb-11dd-8842-001302a18722 | xorg -- multiple vulnerabilities
Matthieu Herrb of X.Org reports:
Several vulnerabilities have been found in the server-side code
of some extensions in the X Window System. Improper validation of
client-provided data can cause data corruption.
Exploiting these overflows will crash the X server or,
under certain circumstances allow the execution of arbitray machine
code.
When the X server is running with root privileges (which is the case
for the Xorg server and for most kdrive based servers), these
vulnerabilities can thus also be used to raise privileges.
All these vulnerabilities, to be exploited successfully, require either
an already established connection to a running X server (and normally
running X servers are only accepting authenticated connections), or a
shell access with a valid user on the machine where the vulnerable
server is installed.

Matthieu Herrb of X.Org reports:
Several vulnerabilities have been identified in server code
of the X window system caused by lack of proper input validation
on user controlled data in various parts of the software,
causing various kinds of overflows.
Exploiting these overflows will crash the X server or,
under certain circumstances allow the execution of arbitray
machine code.
When the X server is running with root privileges (which is the
case for the Xorg server and for most kdrive based servers),
these vulnerabilities can thus also be used to raise
privileges.
All these vulnerabilities, to be exploited succesfully, require
either an already established connection to a running X server
(and normally running X servers are only accepting authenticated
connections), or a shell access with a valid user on the machine
where the vulnerable server is installed.
