Check for the version of the XFree86 package Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment The remote host is missing the patch for the advisory FEDORA-2004-069 (XFree86). XFree86 is an open source implementation of the X Window System. It provides the basic low level functionality which full fledged graphical user interfaces (GUIs) such as GNOME and KDE are designed upon. Update Information: Updated XFree86 packages that fix a privilege escalation vulnerability are now available. XFree86 is an implementation of the X Window System, providing the core graphical user interface and video drivers. iDefense discovered two buffer overflows in the parsing of the 'font.alias' file. A local attacker could exploit this vulnerability by creating a carefully-crafted file and gaining root rights. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the names CVE-2004-0083 and CVE-2004-0084 to these issues. Additionally David Dawes discovered additional flaws in reading font files. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CVE-2004-0106 to these issues. All users of XFree86 are advised to upgrade to these erratum packages, which contain a backported fix and are not vulnerable to these issues. Red Hat would like to thank David Dawes from XFree86 for the patches and notification of these issues.
