Summary Multiple out-of-bounds access flaws were found in the way the X.Org server calculated memory requirements for certain requests. A malicious, authenticated client could use either of these flaws to crash the X.Org server. The RandR extension in XFree86 4.2.0, X.Org X Window System (aka X11 or X) X11R6.7, and X.Org Server (aka xserver and xorg-server) before 1.16.3 allows remote authenticated users to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read or write) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted length or index value to the (1) SProcRRQueryVersion, (2) SProcRRGetScreenInfo, (3) SProcRRSelectInput, or (4) SProcRRConfigureOutputProperty function.
