"The remote NewStart CGSL host, running version MAIN 6.02, has libX11 packages installed that are affected by multiple
vulnerabilities:
- A missing validation flaw was found in libX11. This flaw allows an attacker to inject X11 protocol
commands on X clients, and in some cases, also bypass, authenticate (via injection of control characters),
or potentially execute arbitrary code with permissions of the application compiled with libX11. The
highest threat from this vulnerability is to confidentiality, integrity, as well as system availability.
(CVE-2021-31535)
- A vulnerability was found in libX11. The security flaw occurs because the functions in src/InitExt.c in
libX11 do not check that the values provided for the Request, Event, or Error IDs are within the bounds of
the arrays that those functions write to, using those IDs as array indexes. They trust that they were
called with values provided by an Xserver adhering to the bounds specified in the X11 protocol, as all X
servers provided by X.Org do. As the protocol only specifies a single byte for these values, an out-of-
bounds value provided by a malicious server (or a malicious proxy-in-the-middle) can only overwrite other
portions of the Display structure and not write outside the bounds of the Display structure itself,
possibly causing the client to crash with this memory corruption. (CVE-2023-3138)
Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
