X.org libXrandr before 1.5.1 allows remote X servers to trigger out-of-bounds write operations by leveraging mishandling of reply data.

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.

  - libXrandr: Insufficient validation of server responses result in various data mishandlings (CVE-2016-7948)

  - Multiple integer overflows in X.org libXrandr 1.4.0 and earlier allow X servers to trigger allocation of     insufficient memory and a buffer overflow via vectors related to the (1) XRRQueryOutputProperty and (2)     XRRQueryProviderProperty functions. (CVE-2013-1986)

  - Multiple integer overflows in X.org libXrandr before 1.5.1 allow remote X servers to trigger out-of-bounds     write operations via a crafted response. (CVE-2016-7947)

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).
