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: 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...

xorg: xwayland: Out-of-bounds write in CreatePointerBarrierClient()

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...

xorg: xwayland: Use-after-free in SyncInitTrigger()

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...

xorg: xwayland: Use-after-free in PlayReleasedEvents()

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...

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...

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...
