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 RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:6 relevant fixed versions and status.

Use-after-free vulnerability in the doImageText function in dix/dixfonts.c in the xorg-server module before 1.14.4 in X.Org X11 allows remote authenticated users to cause a denial of service (daemon crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via a crafted ImageText request that triggers memory-allocation failure.
