A use-after-free flaw was found in the xorg-x11-server. An X server crash
may occur in a very specific and legacy configuration (a multi-screen setup
with multiple protocol screens, also known as Zaphod mode) if the pointer
is warped from within a window on one screen to the root window of the
other screen and if the original window is destroyed followed by another
window being destroyed.

Notes

Author Note
mdeslaur xorg server is actually the xorg-server package the xorg package only contains docs xwayland package contains parts of xorg-server xwayland is not affected as it does not support multiple protocol screens
