What is CVE-2013-1998?

Multiple buffer overflow vulnerabilities in X.org's libXi library (version 1.7.1 and earlier) enable X servers to crash and potentially allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code. These vulnerabilities arise when crafted length or index values are used with specific functions, such as XGetDeviceButtonMapping, XIPassiveGrabDevice, and XQueryDeviceState. Users of affected versions should seek immediate updates as these vulnerabilities pose significant risks to system stability and security.
