Background

X.Org is X.Org Foundation’s public implementation of the X Window System.

Description

X.Org miscalculates the size of a buffer in the XRender extension.

Impact

An X.Org user could exploit this issue to make the X server execute arbitrary code with elevated privileges.

Workaround

There is no known workaround at this time.

Resolution

All X.Org users should upgrade to the latest version:

 # emerge --sync
