Multiple integer overflows in X.org libXext 1.3.1 and earlier allow X servers to trigger allocation of insufficient memory and a buffer overflow via vectors related to the (1) XcupGetReservedColormapEntries, (2) XcupStoreColors, (3) XdbeGetVisualInfo, (4) XeviGetVisualInfo, (5) XShapeGetRectangles, and (6) XSyncListSystemCounters functions.

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2013-1982 is a memory corruption issue in X.Org libXext 1.3.1 and earlier. A malicious or compromised X server could cause connected client software to allocate too little memory and overflow a buffer. The main concern is systems running X11 client applications against untrusted X servers. Exposure is most likely on Unix/Linux desktops, servers with X11 client libraries, legacy workstations, or applications that connect to remote X servers. Headless systems may still carry the vulnerable library as a dependency, so package inventory is needed. Treat as a targeted legacy desktop and X11 dependency risk, not a broad internet-facing emergency based on supplied evidence. Prioritize patch confirmation where Linux graphical clients, remote display, or X11 forwarding remain in use. Mitigation focus: Apply relevant OS vendor updates for X.Org libXext packages.; Inventory systems for libXext 1.3.1 or earlier.; Avoid connecting X11 clients to untrusted or unmanaged X servers..
