						Description
						
							
							
								
							
								
Multiple integer overflow flaws were found in the way the X.Org server calculated memory requirements for certain GLX extension requests. A malicious, authenticated client could use either of these flaws to crash the X.Org server or, potentially, execute arbitrary code with root privileges.

								
							
							
								
							
						
								
							
								
Multiple integer overflows in the GLX extension in XFree86 4.0, X.Org X Window System (aka X11 or X) X11R6.7, and X.Org Server (aka xserver and xorg-server) before 1.16.3 allow remote authenticated users to cause a denial of service (crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted request to the (1) __glXDisp_ReadPixels, (2) __glXDispSwap_ReadPixels, (3) __glXDisp_GetTexImage, (4) __glXDispSwap_GetTexImage, (5) GetSeparableFilter, (6) GetConvolutionFilter, (7) GetHistogram, (8) GetMinmax, (9) GetColorTable, (10) __glXGetAnswerBuffer, (11) __GLX_GET_ANSWER_BUFFER, (12) __glXMap1dReqSize, (13) __glXMap1fReqSize, (14) Map2Size, (15) __glXMap2dReqSize, (16) __glXMap2fReqSize, (17) __glXImageSize, or (18) __glXSeparableFilter2DReqSize function, which triggers an out-of-bounds read or write.
