CVE-2006-0745 Information

Description

X.Org server (xorg-server) 1.0.0 and later X11R6.9.0 and X11R7.0 inadvertently treats the address of the geteuid function as if it is the return value of a call to geteuid which allows local users to bypass intended restrictions and (1) execute arbitrary code via the -modulepath command line option or (2) overwrite arbitrary files via -logfile.
