Vulnerabilities > CVE-2014-8103 - Improper Restriction of Operations within the Bounds of a Memory Buffer vulnerability in X.Org Xorg-Server
Summary
X.Org Server (aka xserver and xorg-server) 1.15.0 through 1.16.x before 1.16.3 allows remote authenticated users to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds read or write) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted length or index value to the (1) sproc_dri3_query_version, (2) sproc_dri3_open, (3) sproc_dri3_pixmap_from_buffer, (4) sproc_dri3_buffer_from_pixmap, (5) sproc_dri3_fence_from_fd, (6) sproc_dri3_fd_from_fence, (7) proc_present_query_capabilities, (8) sproc_present_query_version, (9) sproc_present_pixmap, (10) sproc_present_notify_msc, (11) sproc_present_select_input, or (12) sproc_present_query_capabilities function in the (a) DRI3 or (b) Present extension.
Vulnerable Configurations
Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE)
Common Attack Pattern Enumeration and Classification (CAPEC)
- Buffer Overflow via Environment Variables This attack pattern involves causing a buffer overflow through manipulation of environment variables. Once the attacker finds that they can modify an environment variable, they may try to overflow associated buffers. This attack leverages implicit trust often placed in environment variables.
- Overflow Buffers Buffer Overflow attacks target improper or missing bounds checking on buffer operations, typically triggered by input injected by an attacker. As a consequence, an attacker is able to write past the boundaries of allocated buffer regions in memory, causing a program crash or potentially redirection of execution as per the attackers' choice.
- Client-side Injection-induced Buffer Overflow This type of attack exploits a buffer overflow vulnerability in targeted client software through injection of malicious content from a custom-built hostile service.
- Filter Failure through Buffer Overflow In this attack, the idea is to cause an active filter to fail by causing an oversized transaction. An attacker may try to feed overly long input strings to the program in an attempt to overwhelm the filter (by causing a buffer overflow) and hoping that the filter does not fail securely (i.e. the user input is let into the system unfiltered).
- MIME Conversion An attacker exploits a weakness in the MIME conversion routine to cause a buffer overflow and gain control over the mail server machine. The MIME system is designed to allow various different information formats to be interpreted and sent via e-mail. Attack points exist when data are converted to MIME compatible format and back.

Multiple integer overflow flaws and out-of-bounds write flaws were found in the way the X.Org server calculated memory requirements for certain X11 core protocol and GLX extension requests. A malicious, authenticated client could use either of these flaws to crash the X.Org server or, potentially, execute arbitrary code with root privileges. (CVE-2014-8092, CVE-2014-8093, CVE-2014-8098) It was found that the X.Org server did not properly handle SUN-DES-1 (Secure RPC) authentication credentials. A malicious, unauthenticated client could use this flaw to crash the X.Org server by submitting a specially crafted authentication request. (CVE-2014-8091) Multiple out-of-bounds access flaws were found in the way the X.Org server calculated memory requirements for certain requests. A malicious, authenticated client could use either of these flaws to crash the X.Org server, or leak memory contents to the client. (CVE-2014-8097) An integer overflow flaw was found in the way the X.Org server calculated memory requirements for certain DRI2 extension requests. A malicious, authenticated client could use this flaw to crash the X.Org server. (CVE-2014-8094) Multiple out-of-bounds access flaws were found in the way the X.Org server calculated memory requirements for certain requests. A malicious, authenticated client could use either of these flaws to crash the X.Org server. (CVE-2014-8095, CVE-2014-8096, CVE-2014-8099, CVE-2014-8100, CVE-2014-8101, CVE-2014-8102, CVE-2014-8103) All xorg-x11-server users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which contain backported patches to correct these issues. last seen 2020-06-01 modified 2020-06-02 plugin id 80001 published 2014-12-15 reporter This script is Copyright (C) 2014-2019 and is owned by Tenable, Inc. or an Affiliate thereof. source https://www.tenable.com/plugins/nessus/80001 title Oracle Linux 6 / 7 : xorg-x11-server (ELSA-2014-1983)
