Mandrake An input validation flaw was found in the X.org server's XFree86-Misc extension that could allow a malicious authorized client to cause a denial of service (crash), or potentially execute arbitrary code with root privileges on the X.org server (CVE-2007-5760). A flaw was found in the X.org server's XC-SECURITY extension that could allow a local user to verify the existence of an arbitrary file, even in directories that are not normally accessible to that user (CVE-2007-5958).

 Problem Description:
 
 An input validation flaw was found in the X.org server's XFree86-Misc
 extension that could allow a malicious authorized client to cause
 a denial of service (crash), or potentially execute arbitrary code
 with root privileges on the X.org server (CVE-2007-5760).
 
 A flaw was found in the X.org server's XC-SECURITY extension that
 could allow a local user to verify the existence of an arbitrary file,
 even in directories that are not normally accessible to that user
 (CVE-2007-5958).
 
 A memory corruption flaw was found in the X.org server's XInput
 extension that could allow a malicious authorized client to cause a
 denial of service (crash) or potentially execute arbitrary code with
 root privileges on the X.org server (CVE-2007-6427).
 
 An information disclosure flaw was found in the X.org server's TOG-CUP
 extension that could allow a malicious authorized client to cause
 a denial of service (crash) or potentially view arbitrary memory
 content within the X.org server's address space (CVE-2007-6428).
 
 Two integer overflow flaws were found in the X.org server's EVI and
 MIT-SHM modules that could allow a malicious authorized client to
 cause a denial of service (crash) or potentially execute arbitrary
 code with the privileges of the X.org server (CVE-2007-6429).
 
 The updated packages have been patched to correct these issues.
