"The AlmaLinux 9.2 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the TuxCare
ALMALINUX9.2:CLSA-2025:1764027165 advisory.
- A out-of-bounds write flaw was found in the xorg-x11-server. This issue occurs due to an incorrect
calculation of a buffer offset when copying data stored in the heap in the XIChangeDeviceProperty function
in Xi/xiproperty.c and in RRChangeOutputProperty function in randr/rrproperty.c, allowing for possible
escalation of privileges or denial of service. (CVE-2023-5367)
- 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)
- A use-after-free vulnerability was found in the ProcRenderAddGlyphs() function of Xorg servers. This issue
occurs when AllocateGlyph() is called to store new glyphs sent by the client to the X server, potentially
resulting in multiple entries pointing to the same non-refcounted glyphs. Consequently,
ProcRenderAddGlyphs() may free a glyph, leading to a use-after-free scenario when the same glyph pointer
is subsequently accessed. This flaw allows an authenticated attacker to execute arbitrary code on the
system by sending a specially crafted request. (CVE-2024-31083)
- A buffer overflow flaw was found in X.Org and Xwayland. The code in XkbVModMaskText() allocates a fixed-
sized buffer on the stack and copies the names of the virtual modifiers to that buffer. The code fails to
check the bounds of the buffer and would copy the data regardless of the size. (CVE-2025-26595)
- An out-of-bounds write flaw was found in X.Org and Xwayland. The function GetBarrierDevice() searches for
the pointer device based on its device ID and returns the matching value, or supposedly NULL, if no match
was found. However, the code will return the last element of the list if no matching device ID is found,
which can lead to out-of-bounds memory access. (CVE-2025-26598)
Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
