Detail

Product: Solaris 9 Operating System, Solaris 10 Operating System, Solaris 8 Operating System

A buffer overflow vulnerability in libX11 may allow a local unprivileged user to be able to execute arbitrary code or commands with elevated privileges. The code or commands executed would run with the privileges of the application dynamically linked to the libX11 library. A number of programs shipped in Solaris and by third parties dynamically link with the libX11 library and run with elevated privileges. Applications that call XInitImage() with user-controllable parameters may be vulnerable, such as xwud(1) and ImageMagick, when loading X Window Dump (xwd) files with incorrect parameters.

This issue is described in the following documents:
