Ubuntu 5.10 / 6.06 LTS / 6.10 : xorg, xorg-server vulnerabilities (USN-403-1)

critical Nessus Plugin ID 27991

Synopsis

The remote Ubuntu host is missing one or more security-related patches.

Description

The DBE and Render extensions in X.org were vulnerable to integer overflows, which could lead to memory overwrites. An authenticated user could make a specially crafted request and execute arbitrary code with root privileges.

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

Solution

Update the affected packages.
