EulerOS 2.0 SP2 : xorg-x11-server (EulerOS-SA-2019-2421)

critical Nessus Plugin ID 131913

Synopsis

The remote EulerOS host is missing multiple security updates.

Description

According to the versions of the xorg-x11-server packages installed, the EulerOS installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

 - xorg-x11-server before 1.19.5 was vulnerable to integer overflow in ProcDbeGetVisualInfo function allowing malicious X client to cause X server to crash or possibly execute arbitrary code.(CVE-2017-12177)

 - xorg-x11-server before 1.19.5 had wrong extra length check in ProcXIChangeHierarchy function allowing malicious X client to cause X server to crash or possibly execute arbitrary code.(CVE-2017-12178)

 - xorg-x11-server before 1.19.5 was vulnerable to integer overflow in (S)ProcXIBarrierReleasePointer functions allowing malicious X client to cause X server to crash or possibly execute arbitrary code.(CVE-2017-12179)

 - xorg-x11-server before 1.19.5 was missing length validation in XFree86 VidModeExtension allowing malicious X client to cause X server to crash or possibly execute arbitrary code.(CVE-2017-12180)

 - xorg-x11-server before 1.19.5 was missing length validation in XFree86 DGA extension allowing malicious X client to cause X server to crash or possibly execute arbitrary code.(CVE-2017-12181)

 - xorg-x11-server before 1.19.5 was missing length validation in XFree86 DRI extension allowing malicious X client to cause X server to crash or possibly execute arbitrary code.(CVE-2017-12182)

 - xorg-x11-server before 1.19.5 was missing length validation in XFIXES extension allowing malicious X client to cause X server to crash or possibly execute arbitrary code.(CVE-2017-12183)

 - xorg-x11-server before 1.19.5 was missing length validation in XINERAMA extension allowing malicious X client to cause X server to crash or possibly execute arbitrary code.(CVE-2017-12184)

 - xorg-x11-server before 1.19.5 was missing length validation in MIT-SCREEN-SAVER extension allowing malicious X client to cause X server to crash or possibly execute arbitrary code.(CVE-2017-12185)

 - xorg-x11-server before 1.19.5 was missing length validation in X-Resource extension allowing malicious X client to cause X server to crash or possibly execute arbitrary code.(CVE-2017-12186)

 - xorg-x11-server before 1.19.5 was missing length validation in RENDER extension allowing malicious X client to cause X server to crash or possibly execute arbitrary code.(CVE-2017-12187)

 - In X.Org Server (aka xserver and xorg-server) before 1.19.4, an attacker authenticated to an X server with the X shared memory extension enabled can cause aborts of the X server or replace shared memory segments of other X clients in the same session.(CVE-2017-13721)

 - It was found that xorg-x11-server before 1.19.0 including uses memcmp() to check the received MIT cookie against a series of valid cookies. If the cookie is correct, it is allowed to attach to the Xorg session. Since most memcmp() implementations return after an invalid byte is seen, this causes a time difference between a valid and invalid byte, which could allow an efficient brute force attack.(CVE-2017-2624)

 - A flaw was found in xorg-x11-server before 1.20.3. An incorrect permission check for -modulepath and -logfile options when starting Xorg. X server allows unprivileged users with the ability to log in to the system via physical console to escalate their privileges and run arbitrary code under root privileges.(CVE-2018-14665)

 - In the X.Org X server before 2017-06-19, a user authenticated to an X Session could crash or execute code in the context of the X Server by exploiting a stack overflow in the endianness conversion of X Events.(CVE-2017-10971)

 - Uninitialized data in endianness conversion in the XEvent handling of the X.Org X Server before 2017-06-19 allowed authenticated malicious users to access potentially privileged data from the X server.(CVE-2017-10972)

 - xorg-x11-server before 1.19.5 was missing extra length validation in ProcEstablishConnection function allowing malicious X client to cause X server to crash or possibly execute arbitrary code.(CVE-2017-12176)

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the EulerOS security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Solution

Update the affected xorg-x11-server packages.
