CVE-2016-7952

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions X.org libXtst versions prior to 1.2.3

Description The issue allows remote X servers to cause a denial of service, resulting in an infinite loop. This can be triggered via a reply in certain categories without a client sequence and with attached data, specifically the XRecordStartOfData, XRecordEndOfData, or XRecordClientDied categories.

Recommendations For versions prior to 1.2.3, update to version 1.2.3 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to remote X servers to minimize the risk of exploitation.
