Jan-Niklas Sohn discovered that multiple input validation failures in X server extensions of the X.org X server may result in privilege escalation if the X server is running privileged.

For Debian 8 jessie, these problems have been fixed in version 2:1.16.4-1+deb8u6.

We recommend that you upgrade your xorg-server packages.
