Title: libxi vulnerabilities
Summary: Several security issues were fixed in libxi.
Ilja van Sprundel discovered multiple security issues in various X.org
libraries and components. An attacker could use these issues to cause
applications to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly
execute arbitrary code.
Instructions: After a standard system update you need to restart your session to make all
the necessary changes.

CVE-2013-1995 [MEDIUM] CWE-252 libXi: Sign extension issues resulting in heap-based buffer overflow
libXi: Sign extension issues resulting in heap-based buffer overflow
X.org libXi 1.7.1 and earlier allows X servers to trigger allocation of insufficient memory and a buffer overflow via vectors related to an unexpected sign extension in the XListInputDevices function.
A buffer overflow flaw was found in the way the XListInputDevices() function of X.Org X11's libXi runtime library handled signed numbers. A malicious X11 server could possibly use this flaw to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running an X11 client.
Statement: This issue affects the libXi package in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5. Red Hat Product Security has rated this issue as having Moderate security impact. This issue is not planned to be fixed in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 as it is now in Production

CVE-2013-1995 [MEDIUM] CVE-2013-1995 libXi: Sign extension issues resulting in heap-based buffer overflow
CVE-2013-1995 libXi: Sign extension issues resulting in heap-based buffer overflow
A sign extension issue was found in libXi, X.Org X11 libXi runtime library. The XListInputDevices() function did not check the sign of the returned data, leading to negative numbers being used in memory size calculations. This can result in allocating too little memory and then writing the returned data past the end of the buffer. When a X client is connected to a malcicious X server , (modified to return invalid values), it can cause arbirary code execution with the privileges of the user running the X client.
