| Description | A flaw was found in xorg-x11-server. Due to an integer truncation issue during memory allocation calculations within the X Keyboard Extension (XKB), the server allocates an undersized buffer when resizing key types. An authenticated local client can exploit this vulnerability by sending specially crafted XKB requests, causing a heap-based buffer overflow. This can result in arbitrary code execution or a denial of service (DoS). | An integer truncation issue in XkbResizeKeyType() that could lead to a heap buffer overflow by authenticated X clients in X.org X server before 21.1.25 and XWayland before 24.1.14 could be exploited for crashes or potential code execution in the X server. |
