vulnerabilities that have been acknowledged by the vendor but will not be patched.

  - libX11: Insufficient validation of server responses in FontNames (CVE-2016-7943)

  - The XGetImage function in X.org libX11 before 1.6.4 might allow remote X servers to gain privileges via
    vectors involving image type and geometry, which triggers out-of-bounds read operations. (CVE-2016-7942)

  - 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)

  - A vulnerability was found in libX11 due to a boundary condition within the _XkbReadKeySyms() function.
    This flaw allows a local user to trigger an out-of-bounds read error and read the contents of memory on
    the system. (CVE-2023-43785)

  - A vulnerability was found in libX11 due to an infinite loop within the PutSubImage() function. This flaw
    allows a local user to consume all available system resources and cause a denial of service condition.
    (CVE-2023-43786)

  - A vulnerability was found in libX11 due to an integer overflow within the XCreateImage() function. This
    flaw allows a local user to trigger an integer overflow and execute arbitrary code with elevated
    privileges. (CVE-2023-43787)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied on the package manager's report that the package
is installed.");
