NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream libxi package and not the libxi package as distributed by Ubuntu.

Multiple integer overflows in X.org libXi before 1.7.7 allow remote X servers to cause a denial of service (out-of-bounds memory access or infinite loop) via vectors involving length fields.
