CVE-2022-24130 [MEDIUM] CWE-120 xterm: Buffer overflow in set_sixel in graphics_sixel.c
xterm: Buffer overflow in set_sixel in graphics_sixel.c
xterm through Patch 370, when Sixel support is enabled, allows attackers to trigger a buffer overflow in set_sixel in graphics_sixel.c via crafted text.
A buffer-overflow vulnerability was found in xterm's set_sixel() function in the 'graphics_sixel.c' file. This flaw allows an attacker to trigger a buffer overflow via crafted text when the sixel-graphics functionality is enabled. This issue causes xterm to crash, affecting the availability of an application, leading to a denial of service.
Statement: This vulnerability does not affect Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6, 7, and 8, because our binary RPMs of xterm are not shipped with the sixel-graphics functionality enabled, where the vulnerability is present.

FAQ: Is Azure Linux the only Microsoft product that includes this open-source library and is therefore potentially affected by this vulnerability?
One of the main benefits to our customers who choose to use the Azure Linux distro is the commitment to keep it up to date with the most recent and most secure versions of the open source libraries with which the distro is composed. Microsoft is committed to transparency in this work which is why we began publishing CSAF/VEX in October 2025. See this blog post for more information. If impact to additional products is identified, we will update the CVE to reflect this.
