  - A heap-based buffer over-read vulnerability was found in the X.org server's ProcXIGetSelectedEvents()
    function. This issue occurs when byte-swapped length values are used in replies, potentially leading to
    memory leakage and segmentation faults, particularly when triggered by a client with a different
    endianness. This vulnerability could be exploited by an attacker to cause the X server to read heap memory
    values and then transmit them back to the client until encountering an unmapped page, resulting in a
    crash. Despite the attacker's inability to control the specific memory copied into the replies, the small
    length values typically stored in a 32-bit integer can result in significant attempted out-of-bounds
    reads. (CVE-2024-31080)

  - A heap-based buffer over-read vulnerability was found in the X.org server's ProcXIPassiveGrabDevice()
    function. This issue occurs when byte-swapped length values are used in replies, potentially leading to

    endianness. This vulnerability could be exploited by an attacker to cause the X server to read heap memory

    length values typically stored in a 32-bit integer can result in significant attempted out-of-bounds
    reads. (CVE-2024-31081)

  - A flaw was found in the X.org server. Due to improperly tracked allocation size in _XkbSetCompatMap, a
    local attacker may be able to trigger a buffer overflow condition via a specially crafted payload, leading
    to denial of service or local privilege escalation in distributions where the X.org server is run with
    root privileges. (CVE-2024-9632)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
