"The version of AIX installed on the remote host is prior to APAR IJ55695. It is, therefore, affected by multiple
vulnerabilities as referenced in the IJ55695 advisory.
- A flaw was found in the X Record extension. The RecordSanityCheckRegisterClients function does not check
for an integer overflow when computing request length, which allows a client to bypass length checks.
(CVE-2025-49179)
- A flaw was found in the X Rendering extension's handling of animated cursors. If a client provides no
cursors, the server assumes at least one is present, leading to an out-of-bounds read and potential crash.
(CVE-2025-49175)
- A flaw was found in the Big Requests extension. The request length is multiplied by 4 before checking
against the maximum allowed size, potentially causing an integer overflow and bypassing the size check.
(CVE-2025-49176)
- A flaw was found in the X server's request handling. Non-zero 'bytes to ignore' in a client's request can
cause the server to skip processing another client's request, potentially leading to a denial of service.
(CVE-2025-49178)
Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
