Descriptions

The XVideo extension in XFree86 4.0.0, X.Org X Window System (aka X11 or X) X11R6.7, and X.Org Server (aka xserver and xorg-server) before 1.16.3 allows remote authenticated users to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read or write) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted length or index value to the (1) SProcXvQueryExtension, (2) SProcXvQueryAdaptors, (3) SProcXvQueryEncodings, (4) SProcXvGrabPort, (5) SProcXvUngrabPort, (6) SProcXvPutVideo, (7) SProcXvPutStill, (8) SProcXvGetVideo, (9) SProcXvGetStill, (10) SProcXvPutImage, (11) SProcXvShmPutImage, (12) SProcXvSelectVideoNotify, (13) SProcXvSelectPortNotify, (14) SProcXvStopVideo, (15) SProcXvSetPortAttribute, (16) SProcXvGetPortAttribute, (17) SProcXvQueryBestSize, (18) SProcXvQueryPortAttributes, (19) SProcXvQueryImageAttributes, or (20) SProcXvListImageFormats function.

La extensión XVideo en XFree86 4.0.0, X.Org X Window System (también conocido como X11 o X) X11R6.7, y X.Org Server (también conocido como xserver y xorg-server) anterior a 1.16.3 permite a usuarios remotos autenticados causar una denegación de servicio (lectura o escritura fuera de rango) o posivblemente ejecutar código arbitrario a través de un valor de longitud o de indice manipulado en la función (1) SProcXvQueryExtension, (2) SProcXvQueryAdaptors, (3) SProcXvQueryEncodings, (4) SProcXvGrabPort, (5) SProcXvUngrabPort, (6) SProcXvPutVideo, (7) SProcXvPutStill, (8) SProcXvGetVideo, (9) SProcXvGetStill, (10) SProcXvPutImage, (11) SProcXvShmPutImage, (12) SProcXvSelectVideoNotify, (13) SProcXvSelectPortNotify, (14) SProcXvStopVideo, (15) SProcXvSetPortAttribute, (16) SProcXvGetPortAttribute, (17) SProcXvQueryBestSize, (18) SProcXvQueryPortAttributes, (19) SProcXvQueryImageAttributes, o (20) SProcXvListImageFormats.

Multiple out-of-bounds access flaws were found in the way the X.Org server calculated memory requirements for certain requests. A malicious, authenticated client could use either of these flaws to crash the X.Org server.
