Multiple integer overflows in X.org libXi before 1.7.7 allow remote X servers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds memory access or infinite loop) via vectors involving length fields.

An update of the libXi package has been released.

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 6 host has one or more packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities that have been acknowledged by the vendor but will not be patched.

  - libXi: Insufficient validation of server responses result in various data mishandlings (CVE-2016-7946)

  - Multiple integer overflows in X.org libXi before 1.7.7 allow remote X servers to cause a denial of service     (out-of-bounds memory access or infinite loop) via vectors involving length fields. (CVE-2016-7945)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied on the package manager's report that the package is installed.

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 5 host has one or more packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities that have been acknowledged by the vendor but will not be patched.

  - libXi: Multiple Array Index error leading to heap-based OOB write (CVE-2013-1998)

  - libXi: Insufficient validation of server responses result in various data mishandlings (CVE-2016-7946)

  - Multiple integer overflows in X.org libXi 1.7.1 and earlier allow X servers to trigger allocation of     insufficient memory and a buffer overflow via vectors related to the (1) XGetDeviceControl, (2)     XGetFeedbackControl, (3) XGetDeviceDontPropagateList, (4) XGetDeviceMotionEvents, (5) XIGetProperty, (6)     XIGetSelectedEvents, (7) XGetDeviceProperties, and (8) XListInputDevices functions. (CVE-2013-1984)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied on the package manager's report that the package is installed.

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 7 host has one or more packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities that have been acknowledged by the vendor but will not be patched.

  - libXi: Insufficient validation of server responses result in various data mishandlings (CVE-2016-7946)

  - Multiple integer overflows in X.org libXi before 1.7.7 allow remote X servers to cause a denial of service     (out-of-bounds memory access or infinite loop) via vectors involving length fields. (CVE-2016-7945)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied on the package manager's report that the package is installed.

The remote Ubuntu 16.04 ESM host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-5646-1 advisory.

    Tobias Stoeckmann discovered that libXi did not properly manage memory when handling X server responses. A     remote attacker could use this issue to cause libXi to crash, resulting in a denial of service.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

According to the versions of the libXi package installed, the EulerOS Virtualization for ARM 64 installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - X.org libXi before 1.7.7 allows remote X servers to     cause a denial of service (infinite loop) via vectors     involving length fields.(CVE-2016-7946)

  - Multiple integer overflows in X.org libXi before 1.7.7     allow remote X servers to cause a denial of service     (out-of-bounds memory access or infinite loop) via     vectors involving length fields.(CVE-2016-7945)

This update for xorg-x11-libs fixes the following issues :

  - insufficient validation of data from the X server can     cause a one byte buffer read underrun (bsc#1003023,     CVE-2016-7953)

  - insufficient validation of data from the X server can     cause out of boundary memory access or endless loops     (Denial of Service) (bsc#1003012, CVE-2016-7951,     CVE-2016-7952)

  - insufficient validation of data from the X server can     cause out of boundary memory writes (bsc#1003000,     CVE-2016-7947, CVE-2016-7948)

  - insufficient validation of data from the X server can     cause out of boundary memory access or endless loops     (Denial of Service). (bsc#1002998, CVE-2016-7945,     CVE-2016-7946)

This update for X Window System client libraries fixes a class of privilege escalation issues.

A malicious X server could send specially crafted data to X clients, which allowed for triggering crashes, or privilege escalation if this relationship was untrusted or crossed user or permission level boundaries.

The following libraries have been fixed :

libX11 :

  - plugged a memory leak (boo#1002991, CVE-2016-7942).

  - insufficient validation of data from the X server can     cause out of boundary memory read (XGetImage()) or write     (XListFonts()) (boo#1002991, CVE-2016-7942).

libXi :

  - Integer overflows in libXi can cause out of boundary     memory access or endless loops (Denial of Service)     (boo#1002998, CVE-2016-7945).

  - Insufficient validation of data in libXi can cause out     of boundary memory access or endless loops (Denial of     Service) (boo#1002998, CVE-2016-7946).

libXrandr :

  - Insufficient validation of data from the X server can     cause out of boundary memory writes (boo#1003000,     CVE-2016-7947, CVE-2016-7948).

libXi was updated to fix two security issues. These security issues were fixed :

  - CVE-2016-7945: Integer overflows in libXI can cause out     of boundary memory access or endless loops (Denial of     Service) (bsc#1002998).

  - CVE-2016-7946: Insufficient validation of data in libXI     can cause out of boundary memory access or endless loops     (Denial of Service) (bsc#1002998).
