Detail
| Problem Description: Updated X.org packages that correct a flaw in X.Org's composite extension are now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4. This update has been rated as having moderate security impact by the Red Hat Security Response Team. 2. Relevant releases/architectures: Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS version 4 - i386, ia64, ppc, s390, s390x, x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux Desktop version 4 - i386, x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES version 4 - i386, ia64, x86_64 Red Hat Enterprise Linux WS version 4 - i386, ia64, x86_64 3. Problem description: X.org is an open source implementation of the X Window System. It provides the basic low-level functionality that full-fledged graphical user interfaces are designed upon. A flaw was found in the way X.Org's composite extension handles 32 bit color depth windows while running in 16 bit color depth mode. If an X.org server has enabled the composite extension, it may be possible for a malicious authorized client to cause a denial of service (crash) or potentially execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the X.org server. (CVE-2007-4730) Please note this flaw can only be triggered when using a compositing window manager. Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 does not ship with a compositing window manager. Users of X.org should upgrade to these updated packages, which contain a backported patch and are not vulnerable to these issues. 4. Solution: Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released errata relevant to your system have been applied. This update is available via Red Hat Network. Details on how to use the Red Hat Network to apply this update are available at http://kbase.redhat.com/faq/FAQ_58_10188 5.
