| Description | A flaw was found in xorg-x11-server. The server writes pointer barrier events into a fixed-size buffer without properly validating boundaries. An authenticated client can trigger this issue by configuring excessive pointer barriers and generating cursor motion events, causing a buffer overflow. This vulnerability may lead to arbitrary code execution or cause the server to crash, resulting in a Denial of Service (DoS). | A buffer overflow when handling pointer barriers in the XFIXES extension in X.Org X server before 21.1.25 and XWayland before 24.1.14 could be used by authenticated X clients to crash or potentially execute code in X server context. |
