It was discovered that the X.Org X server incorrectly handled endianness conversion of certain X events. An attacker able to connect to an X server, either locally or remotely, could use this issue to crash the server, or possibly execute arbitrary code as an administrator. (CVE-2017-10971)

It was discovered that the X.Org X server incorrectly handled endianness conversion of certain X events. An attacker able to connect to an X server, either locally or remotely, could use this issue to possibly obtain sensitive information. (CVE-2017-10972)

Eric Sesterhenn discovered that the X.Org X server incorrectly compared MIT cookies. An attacker could possibly use this issue to perform a timing attack and recover the MIT cookie. (CVE-2017-2624).

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