- CVEs with nessus.description==The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200710-11 (X Font Server: Multiple Vulnerabilities)
iDefense reported that the xfs init script does not correctly handle a race condition when setting permissions of a temporary file (CVE-2007-3103). Sean Larsson discovered an integer overflow vulnerability in the build_range() function possibly leading to a heap-based buffer overflow when handling 'QueryXBitmaps' and 'QueryXExtents' protocol requests (CVE-2007-4568). Sean Larsson also discovered an error in the swap_char2b() function possibly leading to a heap corruption when handling the same protocol requests (CVE-2007-4990).
Impact :
The first issue would allow a local attacker to change permissions of arbitrary files to be world-writable by performing a symlink attack.
The second and third issues would allow a local attacker to execute arbitrary code with privileges of the user running the X Font Server, usually xfs.
Workaround :
There is no known workaround at this time.
