Description Huzaifa S. Sidhpurwala 2013-05-03 06:04:06 UTC
Multiple integer overflows leading to heap-based buffer overflows were found in the libXvMC, an X.Org X11 libXvMC runtime library. When a X client is connected to a malicious X server, (modified to return invalid values), it can cause arbirary code execution with the privileges of the user running the X client.

Affected functions:  XvMCListSurfaceTypes(), XvMCListSubpictureTypes()
