Description
This security bulletin contains information about 12 secuirty vulnerabilities.
1) Out-of-bounds write (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-4008)
The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error in the SProcRenderCompositeGlyphs() function in the Render extension. A local user can send a specially crafted CompositeGlyphs request, trigger an out-of-bounds write and execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges.
2) Out-of-bounds write (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-4009)
The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error in the ProcXFixesCreatePointerBarrier() function in the XFixes extension. A local user can send a specially crafted CreatePointerBarrier request, trigger an out-of-bounds write and execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges.
3) Out-of-bounds write (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-4010)
The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error in the SProcScreenSaverSuspend() function in the Screen Saver extension. A local user can send a specially crafted Suspend request, trigger an out-of-bounds write and execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges.
4) Out-of-bounds write (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-4011)
The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error in the SwapCreateRegister() function in the Record extension. A local user can send a specially crafted RecordCreateContext and RecordRegisterClients requests, trigger an out-of-bounds write and execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges.
5) Buffer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-3550)
The vulnerability allows a local user to escalate privileges on the system.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error within the _GetCountedString() function in xkb/xkb.c. A local user can trigger memory corruption and execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges.
6) Memory leak (CVE-ID: CVE-2022-3551)
The vulnerability allows a local user to perform DoS attack on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due memory leak within the ProcXkbGetKbdByName() function in xkb/xkb.c. A local user can force the application to leak memory and perform denial of service attack.
