Product: Solaris 8 Operating System Solaris 9 Operating System Solaris 10 Operating System

Multiple security vulnerabilities exist in the X11 XInput, EVI, MIT SHM and XFree86-MISC extensions to the Solaris X11 display server (Xorg(1), Xsun(1), and the Solaris X11 print server (Xprt(1)). These vulnerabilities may allow a local or remote unprivileged user who is authorized via xhost(1) or xauth(1) to connect to the X server and execute arbitrary code with root privileges, access arbitrary memory within the X server's address space, or crash the X11 display server process. The ability to crash the X11 display server is a type of Denial of Service (DoS).

These issues are described in the following documents:
