Multiple integer overflows in the font libraries for XFree86 4.3.0 allow local or remote attackers to cause a denial of service or execute arbitrary code via heap-based and stack-based buffer overflow attacks.

xdm, with the authComplain variable set to false, allows arbitrary attackers to connect to the X server if the xdm auth directory does not exist.

The DEC UDK processing feature in the xterm terminal emulator in XFree86 4.2.99.4 and earlier allows attackers to cause a denial of service via a certain character escape sequence that causes the terminal to enter a tight loop.

The xterm terminal emulator in XFree86 4.2.0 and earlier allows attackers to modify the window title via a certain character escape sequence and then insert it back to the command line in the user's terminal, e.g. when the user views a file containin...

Untrusted search path vulnerability in libX11.so in xfree86, when used in setuid or setgid programs, allows local users to gain root privileges via a modified LD_PRELOAD environment variable that points to a malicious module.

Buffer overflow in Dispatch() routine for XFS font server (fs.auto) on Solaris 2.5.1 through 9 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) or execute arbitrary code via a certain XFS query.

Buffer overflow in fbglyph.c in XFree86 before 4.2.0, related to glyph clipping for large origins, allows attackers to cause a denial of service and possibly gain privileges via a large number of characters, possibly through the web page search form ...

xman allows local users to gain privileges by modifying the MANPATH to point to a man page whose filename contains shell metacharacters.

Buffer overflow in xman allows local users to gain privileges via a long MANPATH environment variable.

XDM in XFree86 3.3 and 3.3.3 generates easily guessable cookies using gettimeofday() when compiled with the HasXdmXauth option, which allows remote attackers to gain unauthorized access to the X display via a brute force attack.
