 Mandriva Linux Security Advisory                       MDKSA-2007:080-1
 http://www.mandriva.com/security/

 Package : tightvnc
 Date    : April 10, 2007
 Affected: 2007.1
 _______________________________________________________________________
 
 Problem Description:
 
 Local exploitation of a memory corruption vulnerability in the X.Org
 and XFree86 X server could allow an attacker to execute arbitrary
 code with privileges of the X server, typically root.
 
 The vulnerability exists in the ProcXCMiscGetXIDList() function in the
 XC-MISC extension. This request is used to determine what resource IDs
 are available for use. This function contains two vulnerabilities,
 both result in memory corruption of either the stack or heap. The
 ALLOCATE_LOCAL() macro used by this function allocates memory on the
 stack using alloca() on systems where alloca() is present, or using
 the heap otherwise. The handler function takes a user provided value,
 multiplies it, and then passes it to the above macro. This results in
 both an integer overflow vulnerability, and an alloca() stack pointer
 shifting vulnerability. Both can be exploited to execute arbitrary
 code. (CVE-2007-1003)
 
 iDefense reported two integer overflows in the way X.org handled
 various font files. A malicious local user could exploit these issues
 to potentially execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the
 X.org server. (CVE-2007-1351, CVE-2007-1352)
 
 TightVNC uses some of the same code base as Xorg, and has the same
 vulnerable code.
 
 Updated packages are patched to address these issues.

 Update:

 Packages for Mandriva Linux 2007.1 are now available.
