"The AlmaLinux 9.2 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the TuxCare
ALMALINUX9.2:CLSA-2025:1744632481 advisory.

  - A use-after-free flaw was found in the xorg-x11-server. An X server crash may occur in a very specific and
    legacy configuration (a multi-screen setup with multiple protocol screens, also known as Zaphod mode) if
    the pointer is warped from within a window on one screen to the root window of the other screen and if the
    original window is destroyed followed by another window being destroyed. (CVE-2023-5380)

  - A flaw was found in xorg-server. Querying or changing XKB button actions such as moving from a touchpad to
    a mouse can result in out-of-bounds memory reads and writes. This may allow local privilege escalation or
    possible remote code execution in cases where X11 forwarding is involved. (CVE-2023-6377)

  - An out-of-bounds memory access flaw was found in the X.Org server. This issue can be triggered when a
    device frozen by a sync grab is reattached to a different master device. This issue may lead to an
    application crash, local privilege escalation (if the server runs with extended privileges), or remote
    code execution in SSH X11 forwarding environments. (CVE-2024-0229)

  - A flaw was found in X.Org server. In the XISendDeviceHierarchyEvent function, it is possible to exceed the
    allocated array length when certain new device IDs are added to the xXIHierarchyInfo struct. This can
    trigger a heap buffer overflow condition, which may lead to an application crash or remote code execution
    in SSH X11 forwarding environments. (CVE-2024-21885)

  - A heap buffer overflow flaw was found in the DisableDevice function in the X.Org server. This issue may
    lead to an application crash or, in some circumstances, remote code execution in SSH X11 forwarding
    environments. (CVE-2024-21886)

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