"The remote Alibaba Cloud Linux 3 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced
in the ALINUX3-SA-2024:0095 advisory.
Package updates are available for Alibaba Cloud Linux 3 that fix the following vulnerabilities:
CVE-2023-5380:
A use-after-free flaw was found in the xorg-x11-server. An X server crash may occur in a very specific and
legacy configuration (a multi-screen setup with multiple protocol screens, also known as Zaphod mode) if
the pointer is warped from within a window on one screen to the root window of the other screen and if the
original window is destroyed followed by another window being destroyed.
CVE-2023-6816:
A flaw was found in X.Org server. Both DeviceFocusEvent and the XIQueryPointer reply contain a bit for
each logical button currently down. Buttons can be arbitrarily mapped to any value up to 255, but the
X.Org Server was only allocating space for the device's particular number of buttons, leading to a heap
overflow if a bigger value was used.
CVE-2024-0229:
An out-of-bounds memory access flaw was found in the X.Org server. This issue can be triggered when a
device frozen by a sync grab is reattached to a different master device. This issue may lead to an
application crash, local privilege escalation (if the server runs with extended privileges), or remote
code execution in SSH X11 forwarding environments.
CVE-2024-21885:
A flaw was found in X.Org server. In the XISendDeviceHierarchyEvent function, it is possible to exceed the
allocated array length when certain new device IDs are added to the xXIHierarchyInfo struct. This can
trigger a heap buffer overflow condition, which may lead to an application crash or remote code execution
in SSH X11 forwarding environments.
CVE-2024-21886:
A heap buffer overflow flaw was found in the DisableDevice function in the X.Org server. This issue may
lead to an application crash or, in some circumstances, remote code execution in SSH X11 forwarding
environments.
CVE-2024-31080:
A heap-based buffer over-read vulnerability was found in the X.org server's ProcXIGetSelectedEvents()
function. This issue occurs when byte-swapped length values are used in replies, potentially leading to
memory leakage and segmentation faults, particularly when triggered by a client with a different
endianness. This vulnerability could be exploited by an attacker to cause the X server to read heap memory
values and then transmit them back to the client until encountering an unmapped page, resulting in a
crash. Despite the attacker's inability to control the specific memory copied into the replies, the small
length values typically stored in a 32-bit integer can result in significant attempted out-of-bounds
reads.
CVE-2024-31081:
A heap-based buffer over-read vulnerability was found in the X.org server's ProcXIPassiveGrabDevice()
function. This issue occurs when byte-swapped length values are used in replies, potentially leading to
memory leakage and segmentation faults, particularly when triggered by a client with a different
endianness. This vulnerability could be exploited by an attacker to cause the X server to read heap memory
values and then transmit them back to the client until encountering an unmapped page, resulting in a
crash. Despite the attacker's inability to control the specific memory copied into the replies, the small
length values typically stored in a 32-bit integer can result in significant attempted out-of-bounds
reads.
CVE-2024-31083:
A use-after-free vulnerability was found in the ProcRenderAddGlyphs() function of Xorg servers. This issue
occurs when AllocateGlyph() is called to store new glyphs sent by the client to the X server, potentially
resulting in multiple entries pointing to the same non-refcounted glyphs. Consequently,
ProcRenderAddGlyphs() may free a glyph, leading to a use-after-free scenario when the same glyph pointer
is subsequently accessed. This flaw allows an authenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code on the
system by sending a specially crafted request.
