Synopsis
========
A NVIDIA drivers bug allows unprivileged user-mode software to access
the GPU inappropriately, allowing for privilege escalation.
Background
==========
The NVIDIA drivers provide X11 and GLX support for NVIDIA graphic
boards.
Affected packages
=================
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected
-------------------------------------------------------------------
1 x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers
< 331.20 *>= 304.116
*>= 319.76
>= 331.20
Description
===========
The vulnerability is caused due to the driver allowing unprivileged
user-mode software to access the GPU.
Impact
======
A local attacker could gain escalated privileges.
Workaround
==========
There is no known workaround at this time.
Resolution
==========
All NVIDIA Drivers users using the 331 branch should upgrade to the
latest version:
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot -v ">=x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-331.20"
All NVIDIA Drivers users using the 319 branch should upgrade to the
latest version:
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot -v ">=x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-319.76"
All NVIDIA Drivers users using the 304 branch should upgrade to the
latest version:
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot -v ">=x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-304.116"

Title: Pixman: User-assisted execution of arbitrary code
Date: February 02, 2014
Bugs: #493292
ID: 201402-03
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Synopsis
========
An integer underflow vulnerability in Pixman may allow a
context-dependent attacker to cause Denial of Service.
Background
==========
Pixman is a pixel manipulation library.
Affected packages
=================
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected
-------------------------------------------------------------------
1 x11-libs/pixman < 0.32.4 >= 0.32.4
Description
===========
The trapezoid handling code in Pixman contains an integer underflow
vulnerability.
Impact
======
A context-dependent attacker could entice a user to open a specially
crafted file using an application linked against Pixman, possibly
resulting in execution of arbitrary code with the privileges of the
process, or a Denial of Service condition.
Workaround
==========
There is no known workaround at this time.
Resolution
==========
All Pixman users should upgrade to the latest version:
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=x11-libs/pixman-0.32.4"
Packages which depend on this library may need to be recompiled. Tools
such as revdep-rebuild may assist in identifying these packages.
