HighCVSS 8.8
A heap bufferflow in pcfReadFont() due to missing glyph bounds checking in libXfont2 before 2.0.8 allows attackers authenticated as X client to execute code within the X server.
-
HighCVSS 8.8
A heap buffer overflow in BitmapScaleBitmaps in libXfont2 before 2.0.8 due to an overflowing 32bit size could be used by attackers able to access the X Server to execute code within the X server cont
-
CriticalCVSS 9.8
_XcursorThemeInherits in library.c in libXcursor before 1.1.15 allows remote attackers to cause denial of service or potentially code execution via a one-byte heap overflow.
-
HighCVSS 7.5
libXcursor before 1.1.15 has various integer overflows that could lead to heap buffer overflows when processing malicious cursors, e.g., with programs like GIMP. It is also possible that an attack vector exists against the related code in cursor/xcursor.c in Wayland through 1.14....
-
MediumCVSS 5.5
In libXfont before 1.5.4 and libXfont2 before 2.0.3, a local attacker can open (but not read) files on the system as root, triggering tape rewinds, watchdogs, or similar mechanisms that can be triggered by opening files.
-
CriticalCVSS 9.8
A single byte overflow in catalogue.c in X.Org libXfont 1.3.1 allows remote attackers to have unspecified impact.
-
CriticalCVSS 9.8
Multiple integer overflows in X.org libXtst before 1.2.3 allow remote X servers to trigger out-of-bounds memory access operations by leveraging the lack of range checks.
-
HighCVSS 8.5
The bdfReadCharacters function in bitmap/bdfread.c in X.Org libXfont before 1.4.9 and 1.5.x before 1.5.1 does not properly perform type conversion for metrics values, which allows remote authenticated users to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds memory access) and possibly e...
-
HighCVSS 8.5
The bdfReadCharacters function in bitmap/bdfread.c in X.Org libXfont before 1.4.9 and 1.5.x before 1.5.1 does not properly handle character bitmaps it cannot read, which allows remote authenticated users to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and crash) and possib...
-
HighCVSS 8.5
The bdfReadProperties function in bitmap/bdfread.c in X.Org libXfont before 1.4.9 and 1.5.x before 1.5.1 allows remote authenticated users to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds write and crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a (1) negative or (2) large property coun...
-
MediumCVSS 4.6
Directory traversal vulnerability in tools/backlight_helper.c in X.Org xf86-video-intel 2.99.911 allows remote attackers to create or overwrite arbitrary files via a .. (dot dot) in the interface name.
-
HighCVSS 7.5
Multiple integer overflows in the (1) fs_get_reply, (2) fs_alloc_glyphs, and (3) fs_read_extent_info functions in X.Org libXfont before 1.4.8 and 1.4.9x before 1.4.99.901 allow remote font servers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted xfs reply, which triggers a buffer overflow...
-
HighCVSS 7.5
Multiple buffer overflows in X.Org libXfont before 1.4.8 and 1.4.9x before 1.4.99.901 allow remote font servers to execute arbitrary code via a crafted xfs protocol reply to the (1) _fs_recv_conn_setup, (2) fs_read_open_font, (3) fs_read_query_info, (4) fs_read_extent_info, (5) f...
-
MediumCVSS 4.6
Multiple integer overflows in the (1) FontFileAddEntry and (2) lexAlias functions in X.Org libXfont before 1.4.8 and 1.4.9x before 1.4.99.901 might allow local users to gain privileges by adding a directory with a large fonts.dir or fonts.alias file to the font path, which trigge...
-
MediumCVSS 4.6
xkeyboard-config before 2.5 in X.Org before 7.6 enables certain XKB debugging functions by default, which allows physically proximate attackers to bypass an X screen lock via keyboard combinations that break the input grab.
-
HighCVSS 9.3
Stack-based buffer overflow in the bdfReadCharacters function in bitmap/bdfread.c in X.Org libXfont 1.1 through 1.4.6 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a long string in a character name in a BDF font file.
-
MediumCVSS 4.3
X.Org xdm 1.1.10, 1.1.11, and possibly other versions, when performing authentication using certain implementations of the crypt API function that can return NULL, allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and crash) by attempting to log into...
-
MediumCVSS 6.5
Use-after-free vulnerability in the doImageText function in dix/dixfonts.c in the xorg-server module before 1.14.4 in X.Org X11 allows remote authenticated users to cause a denial of service (daemon crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted ImageText request that tr...
-
MediumCVSS 6.8
Buffer overflow in X.org libXv 1.0.7 and earlier allows X servers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via crafted length or index values to the XvQueryPortAttributes function.
-
MediumCVSS 6.8
X.org libXt 1.1.3 and earlier does not check the return value of the XGetWindowProperty function, which allows X servers to trigger use of an uninitialized pointer and memory corruption via vectors related to the (1) ReqCleanup, (2) HandleSelectionEvents, (3) ReqTimedOut, (4) Han...
-
MediumCVSS 6.8
The (1) GetDatabase and (2) _XimParseStringFile functions in X.org libX11 1.5.99.901 (1.6 RC1) and earlier do not restrict the recursion depth when processing directives to include files, which allows X servers to cause a denial of service (stack consumption) via a crafted file.
-
MediumCVSS 6.8
Integer overflow in X.org libXcursor 1.1.13 and earlier allows X servers to trigger allocation of insufficient memory and a buffer overflow via vectors related to the _XcursorFileHeaderCreate function.

-
MediumCVSS 6.8
Buffer overflow in X.org libXxf86vm 1.1.2 and earlier allows X servers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via crafted length or index values to the XF86VidModeGetGammaRamp function.
