NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream xorg-x11-server-source package and not the xorg-x11-server-source package as distributed by Centos. See How to fix? for Centos:6 relevant fixed versions and status.

The ProcRenderAddGlyphs function in the Render extension (render/render.c) in X.Org xserver 1.7.7 and earlier allows local users to read arbitrary memory and possibly cause a denial of service (server crash) via unspecified vectors related to an "input sanitization flaw."
