+ <background>
+ <p>
+ The X Window System is a graphical windowing system based on a
+ client/server model.
+ </p>

+ <description>
+ <p>
+ Multiple memory corruption vulnerabilities have been found in the
+ ProcDbeGetVisualInfo() and the ProcDbeSwapBuffers() of the DBE
+ extension, and ProcRenderAddGlyphs() in the Render extension.
+ </p>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="normal">
+ <p>
+ A local attacker could execute arbitrary code with the privileges of
+ the user running the X server, typically root.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ Disable the DBE extension by removing the "Load dbe" directive in the
+ Module section of xorg.conf, and explicitly disable the Render
+ extension with ' Option "RENDER" "disable" ' in the Extensions section.
+ </p>
+ <p>
+ Note: This could affect the functionality of some applications.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ All X.Org X server users should upgrade to the latest version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=x11-base/xorg-server-1.1.1-r4"</code>
+ </resolution>
