  - A flaw was found in X.Org Server Overlay Window. A Use-After-Free may lead to local privilege escalation.
    If a client explicitly destroys the compositor overlay window (aka COW), the Xserver would leave a
    dangling pointer to that window in the CompScreen structure, which will trigger a use-after-free later.
    (CVE-2023-1393)

  - 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
    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-2024-31081)

  - A use-after-free flaw was found in X.Org and Xwayland. When a device is removed while still frozen, the
    events queued for that device remain while the device is freed. Replaying the events will cause a use-
    after-free. (CVE-2025-26600)

  - A use-after-free flaw was found in X.Org and Xwayland. When changing an alarm, the values of the change
    mask are evaluated one after the other, changing the trigger values as requested, and eventually,
    SyncInitTrigger() is called. If one of the changes triggers an error, the function will return early, not
    adding the new sync object, possibly causing a use-after-free when the alarm eventually triggers.
    (CVE-2025-26601)

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