| Description | A flaw was found in xorg-x11-server. A use-after-free vulnerability, where the application accesses memory after it has already been released, occurs in the Present extension because window notification entries are not properly unlinked before cleaning up window resources. An authenticated local X client can exploit this flaw by creating cross-window notifications and subsequently destroying the target window. Successful exploitation primarily results in a Denial of Service (DoS) via an X server crash, and may potentially lead to information disclosure. | A use-after-free in present_clear_window_notifies() in the X.org X Server before 21.1.25 and X Wayland before 24.1.14 could be used by malicious X clients to crash or potentially execute code in the X server context. |
