Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
Multiple integer overflow flaws were found in the way the X.Org server calculated memory requirements for certain GLX extension requests. A malicious, authenticated client could use either of these flaws to crash the X.Org server or, potentially, execute arbitrary code with root privileges.

Description Vasyl Kaigorodov 2014-11-27 15:30:42 UTC 
Various GLX extension functions calls do not check that their calculations for how much memory
is needed to handle the client's request have not overflowed, so can
result in out of bounds reads or writes.  These calls all occur only
after a client has successfully authenticated itself.

Affected functions:
 __glXDisp_ReadPixels()
 __glXDispSwap_ReadPixels()
 __glXDisp_GetTexImage()
 __glXDispSwap_GetTexImage()
 GetSeparableFilter()
 GetConvolutionFilter()
 GetHistogram()
 GetMinmax()
 GetColorTable()
 Map2Size()
 __glXGetAnswerBuffer()
 __GLX_GET_ANSWER_BUFFER()
 __glXMap1dReqSize()
 __glXMap1fReqSize()
 __glXMap2dReqSize()
 __glXMap2fReqSize()
 __glXImageSize()
 __glXSeparableFilter2DReqSize()

Originally developed by SGI and licensed to multiple vendors
prior to SGI open sourcing the code in 1999.
Included in XFree86 releases starting in XFree86 4.0 (2000).
Included in X.Org releases starting in X11R6.7 (2004).

Comment 8 Huzaifa S. Sidhpurwala 2014-12-05 05:38:10 UTC 
Classical case of integer overflow and then malloc, resulting in authenticated-client controlled data being copied beyond buffer bounds. This time in GLX extension.
