Ubuntu Security Notice USN-182-1 - A local privilege escalation vulnerability has been discovered in the pixmap allocation handling of the X server. By allocating a huge pixmap, a local user could trigger an integer overflow that resulted in a memory allocation that was too small for the requested pixmap. This resulted in a buffer overflow which could eventually be exploited to execute arbitrary code with full root privileges.
