This vulnerability is known to enable a Denial of Service attack; any process with an authenticated connection to the X server can cause the entire X server process to crash. (It may enable other attacks as well; the full extent of vulnerabilities created by these faults is not completely analyzed.) _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
