Michal Srb discovered that the X.Org X server incorrectly handled shared memory segments. An attacker able to connect to an X server, either locally or remotely, could use this issue to crash the server, or possibly replace shared memory segments of other X clients in the same session. (CVE-2017-13721)

Michal Srb discovered that the X.Org X server incorrectly handled XKB buffers. An attacker able to connect to an X server, either locally or remotely, could use this issue to crash the server, or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2017-13723).

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.
