Multiple integer overflows in X.org libXi 1.7.1 and earlier allow X servers to trigger allocation of insufficient memory and a buffer overflow via vectors related to the (1) XGetDeviceControl, (2) XGetFeedbackControl, (3) XGetDeviceDontPropagateList, (4) XGetDeviceMotionEvents, (5) XIGetProperty, (6) XIGetSelectedEvents, (7) XGetDeviceProperties, and (8) XListInputDevices functions.

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2013-1984 is an old X.org libXi client-library flaw. A malicious or compromised X server could send crafted responses that make affected client applications allocate too little memory, causing a buffer overflow. The main business concern is legacy Linux/Unix workstations, servers, or applications still using unpatched X11 libraries. Exposure is most likely on legacy systems with X.org libXi 1.7.1 or earlier, or distro packages not updated after May-June 2013. Risk is higher where X11 clients connect to remote, shared, or untrusted X servers. Treat as a legacy hygiene issue unless your environment still depends on X11 remote display workflows. Patch remaining affected systems, especially desktops, jump hosts, scientific workstations, and older Unix/Linux application servers. Mitigation focus: Update libXi using the relevant Linux distribution security advisory packages.; Prioritize legacy systems still running X11 clients or remote X sessions.; Avoid connecting X11 clients to untrusted or unmanaged X servers..
