Buffer underflow in X.org libXvMC before 1.0.10 allows remote X servers to have unspecified impact via an empty string.

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

  - libXvMC: Insufficient validation of server responses results in buffer underflow (CVE-2016-7953)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue 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.

  - libXvMC: Insufficient validation of server responses results in buffer underflow (CVE-2016-7953)

  - Multiple integer overflows in X.org libXvMC 1.0.7 and earlier allow X servers to trigger allocation of     insufficient memory and a buffer overflow via vectors related to the (1) XvMCListSurfaceTypes and (2)     XvMCListSubpictureTypes functions. (CVE-2013-1990)

  - Buffer overflow in X.org libXvMC 1.0.7 and earlier allows X servers to cause a denial of service (crash)     and possibly execute arbitrary code via crafted length or index values to the XvMCGetDRInfo function.
    (CVE-2013-1999)

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 6 host has one or more packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability that has been acknowledged by the vendor but will not be patched.

  - libXvMC: Insufficient validation of server responses results in buffer underflow (CVE-2016-7953)

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

This update for libXvMC fixes the following security issue :

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

This update for the 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. libX11, libXfixes, libXi, libXrandr, libXrender, libXtst, libXv, libXvMC were fixed, specifically: libX11 :

  - CVE-2016-7942: insufficient validation of data from the     X server allowed out of boundary memory read     (bsc#1002991) libXfixes :

  - CVE-2016-7944: insufficient validation of data from the     X server can cause an integer overflow on 32 bit     architectures (bsc#1002995) libXi :

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

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

  - CVE-2016-5407: insufficient validation of data from the     X server can cause out of boundary memory and memory     corruption (bsc#1003017) libXvMC :

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

  - CVE-2016-7949, CVE-2016-7950: insufficient validation of     data from the X server can cause out of boundary memory     writes (bsc#1003002) libXrandr :

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

libXi :

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

libXtst :

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

libXv :

  - CVE-2016-5407: insufficient validation of data from the     X server can cause out of boundary memory and memory     corruption (bsc#1003017)

libXvMC :

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

libXrender :

  - CVE-2016-7949, CVE-2016-7950: insufficient validation of     data from the X server can cause out of boundary memory     writes (bsc#1003002)

libXrandr :

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

This update was imported from the SUSE:SLE-12:Update update project.

CVE-2016-7953 If an empty string is received from an x-server, do not underrun the buffer by accessing 'rep.nameLen - 1' unconditionally, which could end up being -1.

For Debian 7 'Wheezy', these problems have been fixed in version 2:1.0.7-1+deb7u3.

We recommend that you upgrade your libxvmc packages.
