Multiple integer overflows in X.Org Xserver before 1.4.1 allow context-dependent attackers to execute arbitrary code via (1) a GetVisualInfo request containing a 32-bit value that is improperly used to calculate an amount of memory for allocation by the EVI extension, or (2) a request containing values related to pixmap size that are improperly used in management of shared memory by the MIT-SHM extension.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This is an old X.Org Xserver memory-allocation flaw that could let an attacker execute code if they can send crafted X server requests. It matters mainly for legacy Unix/Linux desktops, servers with X enabled, or appliances carrying old X.Org packages. Exposure is most likely on unmaintained systems running X.Org Xserver earlier than 1.4.1 or vendor packages referenced by 2008 advisories. Modern supported distributions are less likely affected, but embedded, appliance, or long-lived desktop images need verification. Treat as a targeted legacy-risk cleanup item, not an internet-wide emergency. Prioritize environments with old Unix/Linux graphical stacks, kiosks, appliances, or servers where untrusted users or applications can interact with X. Mitigation focus: Upgrade X.Org Xserver to 1.4.1 or later where applicable.; Apply vendor xorg security updates from the relevant distribution advisory.; Check appliance vendor advisories before changing embedded X server packages..
