    Jan-Niklas Sohn discovered that a user-after-free flaw in the Composite extension of the X.org X server
    may result in privilege escalation if the X server is running under the root user. For the stable
    distribution (bullseye), this problem has been fixed in version 2:1.20.11-1+deb11u6. We recommend that you
    upgrade your xorg-server packages. For the detailed security status of xorg-server please refer to its
    security tracker page at: https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/xorg-server

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Debian security advisory.
