An out-of-bounds read flaw was found in the X.Org X server and Xwayland in glXDispChangeDrawableAttributes. A wrong size validation check can read a client-controlled number of bytes, exceeding the request buffer, leading to information disclosure. A write path also exists but requires byte-swapp...

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: use-after-free in SyncChangeCounter()

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

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...
