It was discovered that libX11 does not properly validate input coming from the server, causing XListExtensions() and XGetFontPath() functions to produce an invalid list of elements that in turn make XFreeExtensionsList() and XFreeFontPath() access invalid memory. An attacker who can either configure a malicious X server or modify the data coming from one, could use this flaw to crash the application using libX11, resulting in a denial of service.(CVE-2018-14598)

An off-by-one error has been discovered in libX11 in functions XGetFontPath(), XListExtensions(), and XListFonts(). An attacker who can either configure a malicious X server or modify the data coming from one could use this flaw to make the program crash or have other unspecified effects, caused by the memory corruption.(CVE-2018-14599)

An out of bounds write, limited to NULL bytes, was discovered in libX11 in functions XListExtensions() and XGetFontPath(). The length field is considered as a signed value, which makes the library access memory before the intended buffer. An attacker who can either configure a malicious X server or modify the data coming from one could use this flaw to make the program crash or have other unspecified effects, caused by the memory corruption.(CVE-2018-14600)

This update for libxkbcommon to version 0.8.2 fixes the following issues :

  - Fix a few NULL-dereferences, out-of-bounds access and     undefined behavior in the XKB text format parser.

  - CVE-2018-15853: Endless recursion could have been used     by local attackers to crash xkbcommon users by supplying     a crafted keymap file that triggers boolean negation     (bsc#1105832).

  - CVE-2018-15854: Unchecked NULL pointer usage could have     been used by local attackers to crash (NULL pointer     dereference) the xkbcommon parser by supplying a crafted     keymap file, because geometry tokens were desupported     incorrectly (bsc#1105832).

  - CVE-2018-15855: Unchecked NULL pointer usage could have     been used by local attackers to crash (NULL pointer     dereference) the xkbcommon parser by supplying a crafted     keymap file, because the XkbFile for an xkb_geometry     section was mishandled (bsc#1105832).

  - CVE-2018-15856: An infinite loop when reaching EOL     unexpectedly could be used by local attackers to cause a     denial of service during parsing of crafted keymap files     (bsc#1105832).

  - CVE-2018-15857: An invalid free in     ExprAppendMultiKeysymList could have been used by local     attackers to crash xkbcommon keymap parsers or possibly     have unspecified other impact by supplying a crafted     keymap file (bsc#1105832).

  - CVE-2018-15858: Unchecked NULL pointer usage when     handling invalid aliases in CopyKeyAliasesToKeymap could     have been used by local attackers to crash (NULL pointer     dereference) the xkbcommon parser by supplying a crafted     keymap file (bsc#1105832).

  - CVE-2018-15859: Unchecked NULL pointer usage when     parsing invalid atoms in ExprResolveLhs could have been     used by local attackers to crash (NULL pointer     dereference) the xkbcommon parser by supplying a crafted     keymap file, because lookup failures are mishandled     (bsc#1105832).

  - CVE-2018-15861: Unchecked NULL pointer usage in     ExprResolveLhs could have been used by local attackers     to crash (NULL pointer dereference) the xkbcommon parser     by supplying a crafted keymap file that triggers an     xkb_intern_atom failure (bsc#1105832).

  - CVE-2018-15862: Unchecked NULL pointer usage in     LookupModMask could have been used by local attackers to     crash (NULL pointer dereference) the xkbcommon parser by     supplying a crafted keymap file with invalid virtual     modifiers (bsc#1105832).

  - CVE-2018-15863: Unchecked NULL pointer usage in     ResolveStateAndPredicate could have been used by local     attackers to crash (NULL pointer dereference) the     xkbcommon parser by supplying a crafted keymap file with     a no-op modmask expression (bsc#1105832).

  - CVE-2018-15864: Unchecked NULL pointer usage in     resolve_keysym could have been used by local attackers     to crash (NULL pointer dereference) the xkbcommon parser     by supplying a crafted keymap file, because a map access     attempt can occur for a map that was never created     (bsc#1105832).
