Description

The remote host is missing the patch for the advisory SUSE-SA:2007:008 (XFree86-server,xorg-x11-server,xloader).


This update fixes three memory corruptions within the X server which could be used by local attackers with access to this display to crash the X server and potentially execute code.

CVE-2006-6101: Integer overflow in the ProcRenderAddGlyphs function in the Render extension for X.Org 6.8.2, 6.9.0, 7.0, and 7.1, and XFree86 X server, allows local users to execute arbitrary code via a crafted X protocol request that triggers memory corruption during processing of glyph management data structures.
