CBL Mariner 2.0 Security Update: xorg-x11-server (CVE-2024-0408)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 216366

Synopsis

The remote CBL Mariner host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

The version of xorg-x11-server installed on the remote CBL Mariner 2.0 host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the CVE-2024-0408 advisory.

 - A flaw was found in the X.Org server. The GLX PBuffer code does not call the XACE hook when creating the buffer, leaving it unlabeled. When the client issues another request to access that resource (as with a GetGeometry) or when it creates another resource that needs to access that buffer, such as a GC, the XSELINUX code will try to use an object that was never labeled and crash because the SID is NULL.
 (CVE-2024-0408)

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

Solution

Update the affected packages.
