Tobias Stoeckmann from the OpenBSD project has discovered a number of issues in the way various X client libraries handle the responses they receive from servers. Insufficient validation of data from the X server could cause out of boundary memory writes in the libXrender library potentially allowing the user to escalate their privileges.

For Debian 7 ‘Wheezy’, these problems have been fixed in version 1:0.9.7-1+deb7u3.

We recommend that you upgrade your libxrender packages.

NOTE: Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the DLA security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.
