NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream libxv package and not the libxv package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:8 relevant fixed versions and status.

The (1) XvQueryAdaptors and (2) XvQueryEncodings functions in X.org libXv before 1.0.11 allow remote X servers to trigger out-of-bounds memory access operations via vectors involving length specifications in received data.
