X.Org: Heap overflow in pixmap allocation

X.Org: Heap overflow in pixmap allocation An integer overflow in pixmap memory allocation potentially allows any X.Org user to execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges. X.Org 2005-09-12 2005-09-12 105688 local 6.8.2-r3 6.8.2-r3

X.Org is X.Org Foundation's Public Implementation of the X Window System.

X.Org is missing an integer overflow check during pixmap memory allocation.

An X.Org user could exploit this issue to make the X server execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges.

There is no known workaround at this time.

All X.org users should upgrade to the latest version:


    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=x11-base/xorg-x11-6.8.2-r3"
