Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Out-of-bounds Read via the __glXDisp_ChangeDrawableAttributes() function. An attacker can access sensitive information by sending specially crafted requests that cause the process to read beyond the intended buffer. This is only exploitable if the server is configured to allow local authenticated clients to interact with the X server.
