X.org X server 1.13.3 and earlier, when not run as root, allows local users to cause a denial of service (crash) or possibly gain privileges via vectors involving cached xkb files.
Statement
Not vulnerable. This issue did not affect the versions of xorg-x11-server as shipped with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 and 6 as our products did not include the vulnerable patch.
The vulnerability was introduced due to a Ubuntu specific patch, which we never used with the xorg-x11-server we ship with our products.
Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) Score Details
Info alert:Important note
CVSS scores for open source components depend on vendor-specific factors (e.g. version or build chain). Therefore, Red Hat's score and impact rating can be different from NVD and other vendors. Red Hat remains the authoritative CVE Naming Authority (CNA) source for its products and services (see Red Hat classifications).
The following CVSS metrics and score provided are preliminary and subject to review.
