It was discovered that there was a integer overflow in libxfixes, a library providing a client interface to the X11 ‘XFIXES’ extension.
The 32 bit field ‘rep.length’ was not checked for validity, which allowed an integer overflow on 32 bit systems. A malicious server could send INT_MAX as ‘length’ which was then multiplied by the size of XRectangle. In this case the client would not read the whole data from server, getting out of sync.
For Debian 7 ‘Wheezy’, this issue has been fixed in libxfixes version 1:5.0-4+deb7u2.
We recommend that you upgrade your libxfixes packages.
NOTE: Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the DLA security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.
