CVE-2013-2004: The (1) GetDatabase and (2) _XimParseStringFile functions in X.org libX11 1.5.99.901 (1.6 RC1) and earlier...

The (1) GetDatabase and (2) _XimParseStringFile functions in X.org libX11 1.5.99.901 (1.6 RC1) and earlier do not restrict the recursion depth when processing directives to include files, which allows X servers to cause a denial of service (stack consumption) via a crafted file.

Security readout for executives and security teams

This is a denial-of-service flaw in X.org libX11. A malicious or crafted X server/file-processing path can trigger unbounded include recursion, consuming stack memory and crashing affected X client processes. The provided sources do not describe data theft or remote code execution, but the issue can disrupt graphical applications on vulnerable systems. Exposure is most likely on Unix/Linux systems running vulnerable X.org libX11 packages, especially systems where X clients interact with untrusted or compromised X server inputs. Confirm package versions through operating system inventory and vendor advisories. Treat this as a moderate legacy infrastructure risk. It is disruption-focused, not described as compromise-focused, but affected graphical environments and shared workstations should be patched through normal operating system maintenance. Mitigation focus: Review X.Org, Ubuntu, and Debian advisories for corrected libX11 packages.; Update vulnerable libX11 packages through supported operating system channels.; Restrict use of untrusted X servers where operationally possible..
