X.org libXtst before 1.2.3 allows remote X servers to cause a denial of service (infinite loop) via a reply in the XRecordStartOfData, XRecordEndOfData, or XRecordClientDied category without a client sequence and with attached data (CVE-2016-7952).

Buffer underflow in X.org libXvMC before 1.0.10 allows remote X servers to have unspecified impact via an empty string (CVE-2016-7953).

This update for the X Window System client libraries fixes a class of privilege escalation issues.

A malicious X Server could send specially crafted data to X clients, which allowed for triggering crashes, or privilege escalation if this relationship was untrusted or crossed user or permission level boundaries.

libX11, libXfixes, libXi, libXrandr, libXrender, libXtst, libXv, libXvMC were fixed, specifically:

libX11:

• CVE-2016-7942: insufficient validation of data from the X server allowed out of boundary memory read (bsc#1002991)

libXfixes:

• CVE-2016-7944: insufficient validation of data from the X server can cause an integer overflow on 32 bit architectures (bsc#1002995)

libXi:

• CVE-2016-7945, CVE-2016-7946: insufficient validation of data from the X server can cause out of boundary memory access or endless loops (Denial of Service) (bsc#1002998)

libXtst:

• CVE-2016-7951, CVE-2016-7952: insufficient validation of data from the X server can cause out of boundary memory access or endless loops (Denial of Service) (bsc#1003012)

libXv:

• CVE-2016-5407: insufficient validation of data from the X server can cause out of boundary memory and memory corruption (bsc#1003017)

libXvMC:

• CVE-2016-7953: insufficient validation of data from the X server can cause a one byte buffer read underrun (bsc#1003023)

libXrender:

• CVE-2016-7949, CVE-2016-7950: insufficient validation of data from the X server can cause out of boundary memory writes (bsc#1003002)

libXrandr:

• CVE-2016-7947, CVE-2016-7948: insufficient validation of data from the X server can cause out of boundary memory writes (bsc#1003000)

libXi was updated to fix two security issues.

These security issues were fixed:

• CVE-2016-7945: Integer overflows in libXI can cause out of boundary memory access or endless loops (Denial of Service) (bsc#1002998).
• CVE-2016-7946: Insufficient validation of data in libXI can cause out of boundary memory access or endless loops (Denial of Service) (bsc#1002998).

This update for xorg-x11-libs fixes the following issues:

• insufficient validation of data from the X server can cause a one byte buffer read underrun (bsc#1003023, CVE-2016-7953)
• insufficient validation of data from the X server can cause out of boundary memory access or endless loops (Denial of Service) (bsc#1003012, CVE-2016-7951, CVE-2016-7952)
• insufficient validation of data from the X server can cause out of boundary memory writes (bsc#1003000, CVE-2016-7947, CVE-2016-7948)
• insufficient validation of data from the X server can cause out of boundary memory access or endless loops (Denial of Service). (bsc#1002998, CVE-2016-7945, CVE-2016-7946)

Tobias Stoeckmann discovered that libXi did not properly manage memory when handling X server responses. A remote attacker could use this issue to cause libXi to crash, resulting in a denial of service.
