X.Org: Buffer overflow in XRender extension

X.Org: Buffer overflow in XRender extension A buffer overflow in the XRender extension potentially allows any X.Org user to execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges. X.Org May 02, 2006 May 02, 2006: 01 130979 local 6.8.2-r7 6.8.2-r7

X.Org is X.Org Foundation's public implementation of the X Window System.

X.Org miscalculates the size of a buffer in the XRender extension.

An X.Org user could exploit this issue to make the X server execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges.

There is no known workaround at this time.

All X.Org users should upgrade to the latest version:


    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=x11-base/xorg-x11-6.8.2-r7"
