xorg, xfree86 vulnerabilities Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment Summary : These remote packages are missing security patches : - lbxproxy - libdmx-dev - libdmx1 - libdmx1-dbg - libdps-dev - libdps1 - libdps1-dbg - libfs-dev - libfs6 - libfs6-dbg - libice-dev - libice6 - libice6-dbg - libsm-dev - libsm6 - libsm6-dbg - libx11-6 - libx11-6-dbg - libx11-dev - libxau-dev - libxau6 - libxau6-dbg - libxaw6 - libxaw6-dbg - libxaw6-dev - libxaw7 - libxaw7-dbg - libxaw7-dev - libxaw8 - libxaw8-dbg - libxaw8-dev - libxcomposite-dev - libxcomposite1 - libxco [...] Description : A local privilege escalation vulnerability has been discovered in the pixmap allocation handling of the X server. By allocating a huge pixmap, a local user could trigger an integer overflow that resulted in a memory allocation that was too small for the requested pixmap. This resulted in a buffer overflow which could eventually be exploited to execute arbitrary code with full root rights. Solution : Upgrade to : - lbxproxy-6.8.2-10.1 (Ubuntu 5.04) - libdmx-dev-6.8.2-10.1 (Ubuntu 5.04) - libdmx1-6.8.2-10.1 (Ubuntu 5.04) - libdmx1-dbg-6.8.2-10.1 (Ubuntu 5.04) - libdps-dev-6.8.2-10.1 (Ubuntu 5.04) - libdps1-6.8.2-10.1 (Ubuntu 5.04) - libdps1-dbg-6.8.2-10.1 (Ubuntu 5.04) - libfs-dev-6.8.2-10.1 (Ubuntu 5.04) - libfs6-6.8.2-10.1 (Ubuntu 5.04) - libfs6-dbg-6.8.2-10.1 (Ubuntu 5.04) - libice-dev-6.8.2-10.1 (Ubuntu 5.04) - libice6-6.8.2-10.1 (Ubuntu 5.04) - libice6-dbg-6.8.2-10.1 (Ubuntu 5.04) - libsm-dev-6.8.
