Vulnerabilidades

Multiple integer overflows in the font libraries for XFree86 4.3.0 allow local or remote attackers to cause a denial of service or execute arbitrary code via heap-based and stack-based buffer overflow attacks.

dexconf in XFree86 Xserver 4.1.0-2 creates the /dev/dri directory with insecure permissions (666), which allows local users to replace or create files in the root file system.

The xterm terminal emulator in XFree86 4.2.0 and earlier allows attackers to modify the window title via a certain character escape sequence and then insert it back to the command line in the user's terminal, e.g. when the user views a file containing the malicious sequence, which could allow the attacker to execute…

Untrusted search path vulnerability in libX11.so in xfree86, when used in setuid or setgid programs, allows local users to gain root privileges via a modified LD_PRELOAD environment variable that points to a malicious module.

The DEC UDK processing feature in the xterm terminal emulator in XFree86 4.2.99.4 and earlier allows attackers to cause a denial of service via a certain character escape sequence that causes the terminal to enter a tight loop.

xdm, with the authComplain variable set to false, allows arbitrary attackers to connect to the X server if the xdm auth directory does not exist.

Buffer overflow in Dispatch() routine for XFS font server (fs.auto) on Solaris 2.5.1 through 9 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) or execute arbitrary code via a certain XFS query.

Buffer overflow in fbglyph.c in XFree86 before 4.2.0, related to glyph clipping for large origins, allows attackers to cause a denial of service and possibly gain privileges via a large number of characters, possibly through the web page search form of KDE Konqueror or from an xterm command with a long title.

xman allows local users to gain privileges by modifying the MANPATH to point to a man page whose filename contains shell metacharacters.

Buffer overflow in xman allows local users to gain privileges via a long MANPATH environment variable.

XDM in XFree86 3.3 and 3.3.3 generates easily guessable cookies using gettimeofday() when compiled with the HasXdmXauth option, which allows remote attackers to gain unauthorized access to the X display via a brute force attack.

Buffer overflow in xlib in XFree 3.3.x possibly allows local users to execute arbitrary commands via a long DISPLAY environment variable or a -display command line parameter.

The default configuration of XFCE 3.5.1 bypasses the Xauthority access control mechanism with an "xhost + localhost" command in the xinitrc program, which allows local users to sniff X Windows traffic and gain privileges.

libICE in XFree86 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service by specifying a large value which is not properly checked by the SKIP_STRING macro.

libX11 X library allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service via a resource mask of 0, which causes libX11 to go into an infinite loop.

xterm, Eterm, and rxvt allow an attacker to cause a denial of service by embedding certain escape characters which force the window to be resized.

XFree86 3.3.x and 4.0 allows a user to cause a denial of service via a negative counter value in a malformed TCP packet that is sent to port 6000.

Buffer overflow in XFree86 3.3.x allows local users to execute arbitrary commands via a long -xkbmap parameter.

XFree86 startx command is vulnerable to a symlink attack, allowing local users to create files in restricted directories, possibly allowing them to gain privileges or cause a denial of service.

SGI IRIX buffer overflow in xterm and Xaw allows root access.

Guessable magic cookies in X Windows allows remote attackers to execute commands, e.g. through xterm.
