This update has been rated as having important security impact by the Red Hat Security Response Team.
X.org is an open source implementation of the X Window System. It provides the basic low-level functionality that full-fledged graphical user interfaces such as GNOME and KDE are designed upon.
A buffer overflow flaw in the X.org server RENDER extension was discovered. 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 X.org server. (CVE-2006-1526)
Users of X.org should upgrade to these updated packages, which contain a backported patch and is not vulnerable to this issue.
This issue does not affect Red Hat Enterprise Linux 2.1 or 3.
