Multiple integer overflows leading to heap-based buffer overflows were found in several functions in libXi, an X.Org X11 libXi 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: XGetDeviceControl(), XGetFeedbackControl(), XGetDeviceDontPropagateList(), XGetDeviceMotionEvents(), XIGetProperty(), XIGetSelectedEvents(), XGetDeviceProperty()
