Integer Underflow (Wrap or Wraparound) in Red Hat Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10 (CVE-2026-33999)
A flaw was found in the X.Org X server. This integer underflow vulnerability, specifically in the XKB compatibility map handling, allows an attacker with local or remote X11 server access to trigger a buffer read overrun. This can lead to memory-safety violations and potentially a denial of service (DoS) or other severe impacts.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
This advisory covers several vulnerabilities in TigerVNC and X.Org X server's xwayland component on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9. The issues include an integer underflow causing denial of service (CVE-2026-33999), out-of-bounds reads leading to information disclosure and denial of service (CVE-2026-34000), a use-after-free vulnerability causing server crashes and potential memory corruption (CVE-2026-34001), out-of-bounds memory access causing information exposure and denial of service (CVE-2026-34003), and incorrect permissions in TigerVNC's x0vncserver leading to information disclosure, data manipulation, and denial of service (CVE-2026-34352). These vulnerabilities have been addressed in updated TigerVNC packages provided by Red Hat.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation of these vulnerabilities can result in denial of service conditions, information disclosure, data manipulation, server crashes, and potential memory corruption. The impact includes confidentiality, integrity, and availability concerns for affected systems running vulnerable versions of TigerVNC and X.Org X server components.
Mitigation Recommendations
Red Hat has released updated TigerVNC packages (version 1.15.0-7.el9_8.1) for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9 that address these vulnerabilities. Users should apply these official security updates promptly. For detailed update instructions, refer to Red Hat's advisory at https://access.redhat.com/articles/11258. No alternative mitigations are specified, and patching is the recommended remediation.
