CVE-2008-2362

Status: ModifiedHigh (10)—
Multiple integer overflows in the Render extension in the X server 1.4 in X.Org X11R7.3 allow context-dependent attackers to execute arbitrary code via a (1) SProcRenderCreateLinearGradient, (2) SProcRenderCreateRadialGradient, or (3) SProcRenderCreateConicalGradient request with an invalid field specifying the number of bytes to swap in the request data, which triggers heap memory corruption.
CVSS

Version: 2.0
Vector: AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C
Base score: 10
Exploitation probability (EPSS)

Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 3.57%
Percentile among all scored CVEs: 89
Score date: 10/6/2026
EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System, FIRST) estimates how likely a vulnerability is to be exploited in the wild within 30 days. It complements CVSS (impact) and CISA KEV (confirmed exploitation).
