Vulnerabilidades

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.

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.

Race condition in xterm allows local users to modify arbitrary files via the logging option.

An X server's access control is disabled (e.g. through an "xhost +" command) and allows anyone to connect to the server.

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