The XGetImage function in X.org libX11 before 1.6.4 might allow remote X
servers to gain privileges via vectors involving image type and geometry,
which triggers out-of-bounds read operations.

+Subject: Validation of server responses in XGetImage()
+
+Check if enough bytes were received for specified image type and
+geometry. Otherwise GetPixel and other functions could trigger an
+out of boundary read later on.
