Description Robert Buchholz (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2008-01-05 01:31:44 UTC
Multiple vulnerabilities were reported in X.Org Server. 

CVE-2007-5958:
  xorg does not enforce restrictions when a user specifies a security policy,
  allowing for disclosure of the existence of a file (and an attempt to open it)

CVE-2007-5760:
  Invalid array index vulnerability in the XFree86-Misc extension when
  processing PassMessage requests, leading to arbitrary code execution.

CVE-2007-6427:
  Heap memory corruption vulnerability in various functions within
  the XInput extension.

CVE-2007-6428:
  Failure to sanitize an index value, leading to arbitrary memory access in
  the ProcGetReservedColormapEntries() function in the TOG-CUP extension.

CVE-2007-6429:
  Integer overflow in the ProcEVIGetVisualInfo() function in the EVI extension
  and in the VERIFY_SHMSIZE macro in the MIT-SHM extension leading to buffer
  overflows
Comment 1 Robert Buchholz (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2008-01-05 01:35:13 UTC
Donnie, I'll be attaching patches to this bug in a moment.
Please prepare updated ebuilds (at least for our stable 1.3) and attach them to this bug. Do not commit anything yet as these vulnerabilities are under embargo until Jan. 8 (delay was requested).

1.3.0.0-security-204362.patch

Backported version for 1.3.0.0 -- mostly declarations were changed, please check though.
Comment 4 Sune Kloppenborg Jeppesen (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2008-01-06 08:52:03 UTC
Delay accepted by upstream.
Comment 5 Donnie Berkholz (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2008-01-07 23:01:51 UTC
I'll post ebuilds in the next couple of days. In case someone else wants to do it before I get to it, my plan is to add individual patches, one for each vuln, to the PATCHES variable of the ebuild. I'll make a 1.3.0.0-r3 and 1.4.0.90-r1. xorg-server-1.2 will not be supported anymore.

Just FYI, I follow upstream xorg security bugs so I have most of the info.

Comment 8 Ferris McCormick (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2008-01-12 00:39:32 UTC
So that you know, I probably can't get to this before Monday because to test X things like this (the server) I need to be physically where the system I use for testing is.  I doubt that will be possible before the 14th.

fmccor for sparc.

Not a problem, we have a buffer till Thursday, 17th currently. Thanks for notifying.

Comment 10 Christian Faulhammer (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2008-01-12 12:32:31 UTC
Good to go on x86 (tested 1.3).
Comment 11 Jeroen Roovers (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2008-01-12 16:59:20 UTC
1.3 is OK for HPPA.
Comment 12 Markus Rothe (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2008-01-12 21:27:23 UTC
looks good on ppc64
Comment 13 Ferris McCormick (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2008-01-14 13:34:59 UTC
x11-base/xorg-server-1.3.0.0-r3 good on sparc.
Comment 14 Raúl Porcel (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2008-01-14 18:43:45 UTC
Adding Tobias (Blackb|rd) for alpha
Comment 15 Tobias Scherbaum (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2008-01-14 21:19:00 UTC
Looks good on ppc
Comment 16 Raúl Porcel (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2008-01-14 21:43:46 UTC
Tobias says it looks fine on alpha.

I say it looks fine on ia64.

1.3, that is.
Comment 17 Robert Buchholz (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2008-01-15 16:22:00 UTC
amd64 -- 1.3.0.0-r3 looks good here.

We have all security-relevant stable keywords:
  "alpha amd64 hppa ia64 ppc ppc64 sparc x86"
Comment 18 Raphael Marichez (Falco) (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2008-01-17 14:13:35 UTC
Hi arches, (i'm back :) )

The confidential delay has expired. It's public from now.



Donnie, or X11 maintainers, could you commit the stuff please, thanks. The GLSA is ready. You did good work, thanks.

Working on it. We missed a libXfont patch, so we'll need to re-add arches once I get that in. It will be a few hours.
Comment 20 Donnie Berkholz (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2008-01-17 18:55:50 UTC
libXfont 1.3.1-r1 is in the tree, targeted for stable. Please re-add arches to get it there.
Comment 21 Sune Kloppenborg Jeppesen (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2008-01-17 20:11:38 UTC
Thx Donnie.

Arches please test and mark stable. Target keywords are:

libXfont-1.3.1-r1.ebuild:KEYWORDS="alpha amd64 arm hppa ia64 m68k mips ppc ppc64 s390 sh sparc x86 ~x86-fbsd"

Adding CVE-2008-0006 for the libXfont issue.

Seems like the patch introduced a regression with xine-ui, vlc and others. Back to ebuild for now.

Donnie please verify and update patches accordingly. Sorry for the extra work.
Comment 29 Donnie Berkholz (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2008-01-18 21:33:47 UTC
I just revbumped, maintaining the same keywords as in the original security-marked revisions since this is a small modification to that.
Comment 30 Sune Kloppenborg Jeppesen (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2008-01-18 22:07:34 UTC
Thx for the quick fix Donnie. Back to stable marking.

Sorry, the error is fixed in CVS, please emerge --sync.
I don't think this warrants an errata mail, as the "Resolution" section was correct and the affected/unaffected section is mostly used by automated tools, which will get the updated XML.
