CVE-2008-2360

Publication date 16 June 2008

Last updated 24 July 2024

Ubuntu priority

Medium

Why this priority?

Integer overflow in the AllocateGlyph function in the Render extension in the X server 1.4 in X.Org X11R7.3 allows context-dependent attackers to execute arbitrary code via unspecified request fields that are used to calculate a heap buffer size, which triggers a heap-based buffer overflow.
