Synopsis
========

A format string vulnerability in X.Org X Server may allow local
privilege escalation or Denial of Service.

Background
==========

The X Window System is a graphical windowing system based on a
client/server model.

Affected packages
=================

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected
-------------------------------------------------------------------
1 x11-base/xorg-server < 1.11.4-r1 >= 1.11.4-r1
*>= 1.10.6-r1
*<= 1.9.5-r1

Description
===========

The "LogVHdrMessageVerb()" function in log.c contains a format string
vulnerability.

NOTE: Exposure to this vulnerability is reduced in Gentoo due to X.Org
X Server being built with "-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2" by default.

Impact
======

A local attacker could gain escalated privileges or cause a Denial of
Service condition.

Workaround
==========

There is no known workaround at this time.

Resolution
==========

All X.Org X Server 1.11.x users should upgrade to the latest version:

# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose
">=x11-base/xorg-server-1.11.4-r1"

All X.Org X Server 1.10.x users should upgrade to the latest version:

# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose
">=x11-base/xorg-server-1.10.6-r1"

X.Org X Server 1.9.x is not affected.
