Basically all issues in xorg-server, the X server from xorg, are out-of-bounds access or integer underflows in different request handlers. One CVE is about a leak of uninitialize heap memory to clients.



For Debian 8 jessie, these problems have been fixed in version 2:1.16.4-1+deb8u3.

We recommend that you upgrade your xorg-server packages.
