A flaw was found in the way xserver memory was not properly initialized. This could leak parts of server memory to the X client. In cases where Xorg server runs with elevated privileges, this could result in possible ASLR bypass. Xorg-server before version 1.20.9 is vulnerable.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
