+ <blockquote cite="http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg/2008-June/036026.html">
+ <p>Several vulnerabilities have been found in the server-side code
+ of some extensions in the X Window System. Improper validation of
+ client-provided data can cause data corruption.</p>
+ <p>Exploiting these overflows will crash the X server or,
+ under certain circumstances allow the execution of arbitray machine
+ code.</p>
+ <p>When the X server is running with root privileges (which is the case
+ for the Xorg server and for most kdrive based servers), these
+ vulnerabilities can thus also be used to raise privileges.</p>
+ <p>All these vulnerabilities, to be exploited successfully, require either
+ an already established connection to a running X server (and normally
+ running X servers are only accepting authenticated connections), or a
+ shell access with a valid user on the machine where the vulnerable
+ server is installed.</p>
