"The remote Alibaba Cloud Linux 3 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced
in the ALINUX3-SA-2024:0259 advisory.

    Package updates are available for Alibaba Cloud Linux 3 that fix the following vulnerabilities:

    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.
