CVE-2024-0408 Xorg-x11-server: selinux unlabeled glx pbuffer

What is CVE-2024-0408?

CVE-2024-0408 is a medium-severity vulnerability in Fedoraproject Fedora, published on 18 Jan 2024. It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.

Official description

A flaw was found in the X.Org server. The GLX PBuffer code does not call the XACE hook when creating the buffer, leaving it unlabeled. When the client issues another request to access that resource (as with a GetGeometry) or when it creates another resource that needs to access that buffer, such as a GC, the XSELINUX code will try to use an object that was never labeled and crash because the SID is NULL.

Weakness: CWE-158
