CVE-2012-1699
Estado: ModificadaBaja (3.6)—
The ProcSetEventMask function in difs/events.c in the xfs font server for X.Org X11R6 through X11R6.6 and XFree86 before 3.3.3 calls the SendErrToClient function with a mask value instead of a pointer, which allows local users to cause a denial of service (memory corruption and crash) or obtain potentially sensitive information from memory via a SetEventMask request that triggers an invalid pointer dereference.
CVSS
- Versión: 2.0
- Vector: AV:L/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:N/A:P
- Puntuación base: 3.6
