Package : libx11
Version : 2:1.6.2-3+deb8u2
CVE ID : CVE-2018-14598 CVE-2018-14599 CVE-2018-14600

Several issues were discovered in libx11, the client interface to the
X Windows System. The functions XGetFontPath, XListExtensions, and
XListFonts are vulnerable to an off-by-one override on malicious
server responses. A malicious server could also send a reply in which
the first string overflows, causing a variable set to NULL that will
be freed later on, leading to a segmentation fault and Denial of
Service. The function XListExtensions in ListExt.c interprets a
variable as signed instead of unsigned, resulting in an out-of-bounds
write (of up to 128 bytes), leading to a Denial of Service or possibly
remote code execution.

For Debian 8 "Jessie", these problems have been fixed in version
2:1.6.2-3+deb8u2.

We recommend that you upgrade your libx11 packages.
