| Description | A flaw was found in xorg-x11-server. The GLX (OpenGL Extension to the X Window System) interface fails to verify that incoming data sizes do not exceed allocated buffer limits when handling large rendering requests. An authenticated local client can exploit this vulnerability by sending a specially crafted request, triggering a heap-based buffer overflow. Successful exploitation can result in arbitrary code execution with the privileges of the X server or cause a Denial of Service (DoS) by crashing the application. | A heap buffer overflow in handling GLX RenderLarge request where dataBytes exceeds cmdlen in X.org X server before 21.1.25 and XWayland before 24.1.14 that could be be triggered by an authenticated X client could cause crashes or code execution in X server context. |
