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.

Integer overflow in the ProcDRI2GetBuffers function in the DRI2 extension in X.Org Server (aka xserver and xorg-server) 1.7.0 through 1.16.x before 1.16.3 allows remote authenticated users to cause a denial of service (crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted request, which triggers an out-of-bounds read or write.
