Date: October 22, 2011
Bugs: #387069
ID: 201110-19

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Synopsis
========

Multiple vulnerabilities in the X.Org X server might allow local
attackers to disclose information.

Background
==========

The X Window System is a graphical windowing system based on a
client/server model.

Affected packages
=================

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected
-------------------------------------------------------------------
1 x11-base/xorg-server < 1.10.4-r1 *>= 1.9.5-r1
>= 1.10.4-r1

Description
===========

vladz reported the following vulnerabilities in the X.Org X server:

* The X.Org X server follows symbolic links when trying to access the
lock file for a X display, showing a predictable behavior depending
on the file type of the link target (CVE-2011-4028).
* The X.Org X server lock file mechanism allows for a race condition to
cause the X server to modify the file permissions of an arbitrary
file to 0444 (CVE-2011-4029).

Impact
======

A local attacker could exploit these vulnerabilities to disclose
information by making arbitrary files on a system world-readable or
gain information whether a specified file exists on the system and
whether it is a file, directory, or a named pipe.

Workaround
==========

There is no known workaround at this time.

Resolution
==========

All X.Org X Server 1.9 users should upgrade to the latest 1.9 version:

# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=x11-base/xorg-server-1.9.5-r1"

All X.Org X Server 1.10 users should upgrade to the latest version:

# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=x11-base/xorg-server-1.10.4-r1"
