7.2 HIGH — AV:L/AC:L/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C

Description

X.Org server (xorg-server) 1.0.0 and later, X11R6.9.0, and X11R7.0 inadvertently treats the address of the geteuid function as if it is the return value of a call to geteuid, which allows local users to bypass intended restrictions and (1) execute arbitrary code via the -modulepath command line option or (2) overwrite arbitrary files via -logfile.

Affected configurations

• x.org x11r6 6.9 • x.org x11r7 1.0 • x.org x11r7 1.0.1 • mandrakesoft mandrake linux 2006 • redhat fedora core core 5.0 • sun solaris 10.0 • suse suse linux 10.0
