CVE-2013-2004

Publication date 23 May 2013

Last updated 24 July 2024

Ubuntu priority

Medium

Why this priority?

The (1) GetDatabase and (2) _XimParseStringFile functions in X.org libX11 1.5.99.901 (1.6 RC1) and earlier do not restrict the recursion depth when processing directives to include files, which allows X servers to cause a denial of service (stack consumption) via a crafted file.
