Description
Multiple integer overflows in X.Org Xserver before 1.4.1 allow
context-dependent attackers to execute arbitrary code via (1) a
GetVisualInfo request containing a 32-bit value that is improperly
used to calculate an amount of memory for allocation by the EVI
extension, or (2) a request containing values related to pixmap size
that are improperly used in management of shared memory by the MIT-SHM
extension.
