Package        : xorg-server, libxfont, xfree86
Vulnerability  : several
Problem type   : local
Debian-specific: no
CVE Id(s)      : CVE-2007-5760 CVE-2007-5958 CVE-2007-6427 CVE-2007-6428 
CVE-2007-6429 CVE-2008-0006

The X.org fix for CVE-2007-6429 introduced a regression in the MIT-SHM
extension, which prevented the start of a few applications. This update
fixes this problem and also references the patch for CVE-2008-0006,
which was included in the previous update, but not mentioned in the
advisory text.

Several local vulnerabilities have been discovered in the X.Org X
server. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project identifies the
following problems:

CVE-2007-5760

    "regenrecht" discovered that missing input sanitising within
    the XFree86-Misc extension may lead to local privilege escalation.

CVE-2007-5958

    It was discovered that error messages of security policy file
    handling may lead to a minor information leak disclosing the
    existance of files otherwise unaccessible to the user.

CVE-2007-6427

    "regenrecht" discovered that missing input sanitising within
    the XInput-Misc extension may lead to local privilege escalation.

CVE-2007-6428

    "regenrecht" discovered that missing input sanitising within
    the TOG-CUP extension may lead to disclosure of memory contents.

CVE-2007-6429

    "regenrecht" discovered that integer overflows in the EVI
    and MIT-SHM extensions may lead to local privilege escalation.

CVE-2008-0006

   It was discovered that insufficient validation of PCF fonts could lead
   to local privilege escalation.

For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem has been fixed in
version 2:1.4.1~git20080118-1 of xorg-server and version 1:1.3.1-2
of libxfont.

For the stable distribution (etch), this problem has been fixed in
version 1.1.1-21etch3 or xorg-server and 1.2.2-2.etch1 of libxfont.

For the oldstable distribution (etch), this problem has been fixed in
version 4.3.0.dfsg.1-14sarge6 of xfree86.

We recommend that you upgrade your libxfont abd xorg-server packages.
