CVE-2017-2624

Description

It was found that xorg-x11-server before 1.19.0 including uses memcmp() to check the received MIT cookie against a series of valid cookies. If the cookie is correct, it is allowed to attach to the Xorg session. Since most memcmp() implementations return after an invalid byte is seen, this causes a time difference between a valid and invalid byte, which could allow an efficient brute force attack.

Priority: LOW
CVSS v3: 7
Component: xorg-x11-server
Publish Date: Jul 27, 2018
Related ID: --
CVSS v2: HIGH
Modified Date: Jul 28, 2018
