The version of xorg-server installed on the remote host is prior to 1.20.14 / 21.1.10 / 21.1.4 / 23.2.3. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SSA:2023-347-01 advisory.

  • A flaw was found in xorg-server. Querying or changing XKB button actions such as moving from a touchpad to a mouse can result in out-of-bounds memory reads and writes. This may allow local privilege escalation or possible remote code execution in cases where X11 forwarding is involved. (CVE-2023-6377)

  • A flaw was found in xorg-server. A specially crafted request to RRChangeProviderProperty or RRChangeOutputProperty can trigger an integer overflow which may lead to a disclosure of sensitive information. (CVE-2023-6478)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
