xorg-x11-server: xorg-x11-server-Xwayland: xorg-x11-server: stack buffer overflow in font alias resolution due to libXfont2 name length mismatch

A stack-based buffer overflow flaw was found in the X.Org X server and Xwayland. A mismatch between the X server and the libXfont2 library's maximum font name length can cause a stack buffer overflow during font alias resolution. The server allocates a 256 byte stack buffer but libXfont2's alias...

xorg-x11-server: xorg-x11-server-Xwayland: xorg-x11-server: stack buffer overflow in XKB key types due to unchecked shift levels

A stack-based buffer overflow flaw was found in the X.Org X server and Xwayland. The X server has multiple stack buffers sized XkbMaxShiftLevel XkbNumKbdGroups but CheckKeyTypes does not verify or clamp non-canonical key types to XkbMaxShiftLevel. A client can change key types to excessive shift...

xorg-x11-server: xorg-x11-server-Xwayland: xorg-x11-server: stack buffer overflow in XKB SetMap request via mapWidths indexing

A stack-based buffer overflow flaw was found in the X.Org X server and Xwayland. XkbSetMapChecks declares a fixed-size stack buffer mapWidths256 indexed by key type index. The helper function CheckKeyTypes writes to this buffer at a client-controlled offset, allowing a stack buffer overflow. This...

xorg-x11-server: xorg-x11-server-Xwayland: xorg-x11-server: use-after-free in FreeCounter()

A use-after-free flaw was found in the X.Org X server and Xwayland in FreeCounter. A client that sets up multiple SyncCounters and awaits on those triggers can trigger a use-after-free when destroying those counters via a second client connection. This may be used to crash the server, or for...

xorg-x11-server: xorg-x11-server-Xwayland: xorg-x11-server: out-of-bounds heap write in DRI2 DRIGetBuffers/DRIGetBuffersWithFormat

An out-of-bounds write flaw was found in the X.Org X server and Xwayland in DRIGetBuffers/DRIGetBuffersWithFormat. A client that requests multiple DRI2BufferBackLeft attachments and one DRI2BufferFrontLeft can trigger an out-of-bounds heap write. This may be used to crash the server, or for...
