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: 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...

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-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...

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: 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...

CVE-2022-49737

In X.Org X server 20.11 through 21.1.16, when a client application uses easystroke for mouse gestures, the main thread modifies various data structures used by the input thread without acquiring a lock, aka a race condition. In particular, AttachDevice in dix/devices.c does not acquire an input...

CVE-2022-49737

CVE-2022-49737 affects X.Org X server 20.11–21.1.16. The issue is a race condition in the main thread where, when a client uses easystroke for mouse gestures, AttachDevice (dix/devices.c) accesses input-thread data structures without acquiring the input lock. This can enable data-structure modifi...
