Summary

libx11, libxrender vulnerability

Details

Abhishek Arya discovered that libX11 incorrectly handled memory in the MakeBigReq macro. A remote attacker could use this issue to cause applications to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code.

In addition, following the macro fix in libx11, a number of other packages have also been rebuilt as security updates including libxrender, libxext, libxi, libxfixes, libxrandr, libsdl1.2, libxv, libxp, and xserver-xorg-video-vmware.
