Description

This security bulletin contains information about 2 vulnerabilities.


1) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2013-1990)

CWE-ID: CWE-20 - Improper input validation

CVSSv4: 6.9 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:L/VI:L/VA:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]


The vulnerability allows a remote non-authenticated attacker to read and manipulate data.

Multiple integer overflows in X.org libXvMC 1.0.7 and earlier allow X servers to trigger allocation of insufficient memory and a buffer overflow via vectors related to the (1) XvMCListSurfaceTypes and (2) XvMCListSubpictureTypes functions.
