3) Improper Initialization
EUVDB-ID: #VU45684
Risk: Low
CVSSv3.1: 4.8 [CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]
CVE-ID: CVE-2020-14347
CWE-ID:
CWE-665 - Improper Initialization
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a local authenticated user to gain access to sensitive information.
A flaw was found in the way xserver memory was not properly initialized. This could leak parts of server memory to the X client. In cases where Xorg server runs with elevated privileges, this could result in possible ASLR bypass. Xorg-server before version 1.20.9 is vulnerable.
MitigationUpdate the affected packages.
