xorg: xwayland: Heap overflow in XkbWriteKeySyms()

A heap overflow flaw was found in X.Org and Xwayland. The computation of the length in XkbSizeKeySyms differs from what is written in XkbWriteKeySyms, which may lead to a heap-based buffer overflow...

X.Org: Xwayland: Use-after-free of the root cursor

A use-after-free flaw was found in X.Org and Xwayland. The root cursor is referenced in the X server as a global variable. If a client frees the root cursor, the internal reference points to freed memory and causes a use-after-free...

xorg: xwayland: Use of uninitialized pointer in compRedirectWindow()

An access to an uninitialized pointer flaw was found in X.Org and Xwayland. The function compCheckRedirect may fail if it cannot allocate the backing pixmap. In that case, compRedirectWindow will return a BadAlloc error without validating the window tree marked just before, which leaves the...

xorg: xwayland: Buffer overflow in XkbChangeTypesOfKey()

A buffer overflow flaw was found in X.Org and Xwayland. If XkbChangeTypesOfKey is called with a 0 group, it will resize the key symbols table to 0 but leave the key actions unchanged. If the same function is later called with a non-zero value of groups, this will cause a buffer overflow because t...

Xorg: xwayland: Buffer overflow in XkbVModMaskText()

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...
