core functionality for the Linux graphical desktop.
An input validation flaw was discovered in X.org’s Security and Record

a denial of service (crash) or, potentially, execute arbitrary code with
root privileges on the X.Org server. (CVE-2008-1377)
An integer overflow flaw was found in X.org’s Render extension. A malicious
authorized client could exploit this issue to cause a denial of service
(crash) or, potentially, execute arbitrary code with root privileges on the
