CVE-2018-14665

CVSS v2.0

7.2

Alta

VetorAV:L/AC:L/Au:N/C:C/I:C/A:C
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions: X.Org Server versions prior to 1.20.3
Description: The issue is caused by incorrect handling and validation of command line parameters, specifically the modulepath and logfile options when starting the Xorg server. This could allow a remote attacker to gain elevated privileges on the system, potentially leading to the execution of arbitrary code under root privileges. The vulnerability can be exploited by using the -modulepath or -logfile arguments to overwrite arbitrary files on the system.
Recommendations: For versions prior to 1.20.3, update to version 1.20.3 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the modulepath and logfile options when starting the Xorg server to minimize the risk of exploitation.
