| Description | A flaw was found in xorg-x11-server. In the X Keyboard Extension (XKB), key name memory is allocated with an insufficient buffer size compared to the maximum supported range. An authenticated local client can exploit this flaw by sending requests that modify the keycode range, triggering a heap-based buffer overflow. This vulnerability can lead to arbitrary code execution or cause a Denial of Service (DoS) by crashing the X server. | A heap buffer overflow caused by mismatching size calculations between XkbAllocNames and ChangeKeycodeRange in X.org X server before 2.1.25 and XWayland before 24.1.14 could be used by authenticated X clients to crash or potentially execute code in X server context. |
