Loic Minier discovered that xvfb-run did not correctly keep the X.org session cookie private. A local attacker could gain access to any local sessions started by xvfb-run. Ubuntu 9.10 was not affected.
(CVE-2009-1573)
It was discovered that the X.org server did not correctly handle certain calculations. A remote attacker could exploit this to crash the X.org session or possibly run arbitrary code with root privileges.
(CVE-2010-1166).
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.
