Advisories MDKSA-2007:005: Updated xorg-x11/XFree86 packages fix integer overflow vulnerabilities
Sean Larsson of iDefense Labs discovered several vulnerabilities in
X.Org/XFree86:

Local exploitation of a memory corruption vulnerability in the
'ProcRenderAddGlyphs()' function in the X.Org and XFree86 X server
could allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code with privileges of
the X server, typically root. (CVE-2006-6101)

Local exploitation of a memory corruption vulnerability in the
'ProcDbeGetVisualInfo()' function in the X.Org and XFree86 X server
could allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code with privileges of
the X server, typically root. (CVE-2006-6102)

Local exploitation of a memory corruption vulnerability in the
'ProcDbeSwapBuffers()' function in the X.Org and XFree86 X server could
allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code with privileges of the X
server, typically root. (CVE-2006-6103)

Updated packages are patched to address these issues.
