Detail
| A security issue affects the following Ubuntu releases: Ubuntu 5.04 (Hoary Hedgehog) Ubuntu 5.10 (Breezy Badger) The following packages are affected: xserver-xorg xserver-xorg-core The problem can be corrected by upgrading the affected package to version 6.8.2-10.2 (for Ubuntu 5.04) or 6.8.2-77.1 (for Ubuntu 5.10). After a standard system upgrade you need to restart X.org by restarting your session to effect the necessary changes. Details follow: The Render extension of the X.org server incorrectly calculated the size of a memory buffer, which led to a buffer overflow. A local attacker could exploit this to crash the X server or even execute arbitrary code with root privileges. |

| Title: | Buffer overflow in the X render (Xrender) extension in X.org X server 6.8.0 up to allows attackers to cause a denial of service (crash), as demonstrated by the (1) XRenderCompositeTriStrip and (2) XRenderCompositeTriFan requests in the rendertest from XCB xcb/xcb-demo, which leads to an incorrect memory allocation due to a typo in an expression that uses a "" instead of a "*" operator. NOTE: the subject line of the original announcement used an incorrect CVE number for this issue. | ||
