CBL Mariner 2.0 Security Update: xorg-x11-server / xorg-x11-server-Xwayland (CVE-2025-26594)

The version of xorg-x11-server / xorg-x11-server-Xwayland installed on the remote CBL Mariner 2.0 host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the CVE-2025-26594 advisory. - A use-after-free flaw was found in X.Org and Xwayland. The root cursor i...

CBL Mariner 2.0 Security Update: xorg-x11-server / xorg-x11-server-Xwayland (CVE-2025-26595)

The version of xorg-x11-server / xorg-x11-server-Xwayland installed on the remote CBL Mariner 2.0 host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the CVE-2025-26595 advisory. - A buffer overflow flaw was found in X.Org and Xwayland. The code in...

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: 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: 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: 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: 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: 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...

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...
