X.Org Xorg-Server vulnerabilities

CVE-2025-62230 [HIGH] CVE-2025-62230: A flaw was discovered in the X A flaw was discovered in the X.Org X server’s X Keyboard (Xkb) extension when handling client resource cleanup. The software frees certain data structures without properly detaching related resources, leading to a use-after-free condition. This can cause memory corruption or a crash when affected clients disconnect.

CVE-2025-62231 [HIGH] CVE-2025-62231: A flaw was identified in the X A flaw was identified in the X.Org X server’s X Keyboard (Xkb) extension where improper bounds checking in the XkbSetCompatMap() function can cause an unsigned short overflow. If an attacker sends specially crafted input data, the value calculation may overflow, leading to memory corruption or a crash.

CVE-2025-62229 [HIGH] CVE-2025-62229: A flaw was found in the X A flaw was found in the X.Org X server and Xwayland when processing X11 Present extension notifications. Improper error handling during notification creation can leave dangling pointers that lead to a use-after-free condition. This can cause memory corruption or a crash, potentially allowing an attacker to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service.

CVE-2025-49179 [HIGH] CVE-2025-49179: A flaw was found in the X Record extension A flaw was found in the X Record extension. The RecordSanityCheckRegisterClients function does not check for an integer overflow when computing request length, which allows a client to bypass length checks.

CVE-2025-49176 [HIGH] CVE-2025-49176: A flaw was found in the Big Requests extension A flaw was found in the Big Requests extension. The request length is multiplied by 4 before checking against the maximum allowed size, potentially causing an integer overflow and bypassing the size check.

CVE-2025-49180 [HIGH] CVE-2025-49180: A flaw was found in the RandR extension, where the RRChangeProviderProperty function does not properly validate input A flaw was found in the RandR extension, where the RRChangeProviderProperty function does not properly validate input. This issue leads to an integer overflow when computing the total size to allocate.

CVE-2025-49175 [MEDIUM] CVE-2025-49175: A flaw was found in the X Rendering extension's handling of animated cursors A flaw was found in the X Rendering extension's handling of animated cursors. If a client provides no cursors, the server assumes at least one is present, leading to an out-of-bounds read and potential crash.

CVE-2025-49178 [MEDIUM] CVE-2025-49178: A flaw was found in the X server's request handling A flaw was found in the X server's request handling. Non-zero 'bytes to ignore' in a client's request can cause the server to skip processing another client's request, potentially leading to a denial of service.

CVE-2025-49177 [MEDIUM] CVE-2025-49177: A flaw was found in the XFIXES extension A flaw was found in the XFIXES extension. The XFixesSetClientDisconnectMode handler does not validate the request length, allowing a client to read unintended memory from previous requests.

CVE-2022-49737 [HIGH] CVE-2022-49737: In X In X.Org X server 20.11 through 21.1.16, when a client application uses easystroke for mouse gestures, the main thread modifies various data structures used by the input thread without acquiring a lock, aka a race condition. In particular, AttachDevice in dix/devices.c does not acquire an input lock.

CVE-2025-26599 [HIGH] CVE-2025-26599: An access to an uninitialized pointer flaw was found in X An access to an uninitialized pointer flaw was found in X.Org and Xwayland. The function compCheckRedirect() may fail if it cannot allocate the backing pixmap. In that case, compRedirectWindow() will return a BadAlloc error without validating the window tree marked just before, which leaves the validated data partly initialized and the use of an uninitialized pointer later.

CVE-2025-26594 [HIGH] CVE-2025-26594: A use-after-free flaw was found in X A use-after-free flaw was found in X.Org and Xwayland. The root cursor is referenced in the X server as a global variable. If a client frees the root cursor, the internal reference points to freed memory and causes a use-after-free.

CVE-2025-26596 [HIGH] CVE-2025-26596: A heap overflow flaw was found in X A heap overflow flaw was found in X.Org and Xwayland. The computation of the length in XkbSizeKeySyms() differs from what is written in XkbWriteKeySyms(), which may lead to a heap-based buffer overflow.

CVE-2025-26601 [HIGH] CVE-2025-26601: A use-after-free flaw was found in X A use-after-free flaw was found in X.Org and Xwayland. When changing an alarm, the values of the change mask are evaluated one after the other, changing the trigger values as requested, and eventually, SyncInitTrigger() is called. If one of the changes triggers an error, the function will return early, not adding the new sync object, possibly causing a use-after-free when the alarm eventually triggers.

CVE-2025-26597 [HIGH] CVE-2025-26597: A buffer overflow flaw was found in X A buffer overflow flaw was found in X.Org and Xwayland. If XkbChangeTypesOfKey() is called with a 0 group, it will resize the key symbols table to 0 but leave the key actions unchanged. If the same function is later called with a non-zero value of groups, this will cause a buffer overflow because the key actions are of the wrong size.

CVE-2025-26600 [HIGH] CVE-2025-26600: A use-after-free flaw was found in X A use-after-free flaw was found in X.Org and Xwayland. When a device is removed while still frozen, the events queued for that device remain while the device is freed. Replaying the events will cause a use-after-free.

CVE-2025-26598 [HIGH] CVE-2025-26598: An out-of-bounds write flaw was found in X An out-of-bounds write flaw was found in X.Org and Xwayland. The function GetBarrierDevice() searches for the pointer device based on its device ID and returns the matching value, or supposedly NULL, if no match was found. However, the code will return the last element of the list if no matching device ID is found, which can lead to out-of-bounds memory access.

CVE-2025-26595 [HIGH] CVE-2025-26595: A buffer overflow flaw was found in X A buffer overflow flaw was found in X.Org and Xwayland. The code in XkbVModMaskText() allocates a fixed-sized buffer on the stack and copies the names of the virtual modifiers to that buffer. The code fails to check the bounds of the buffer and would copy the data regardless of the size.

CVE-2024-9632 [HIGH] CVE-2024-9632: A flaw was found in the X A flaw was found in the X.org server. Due to improperly tracked allocation size in _XkbSetCompatMap, a local attacker may be able to trigger a buffer overflow condition via a specially crafted payload, leading to denial of service or local privilege escalation in distributions where the X.org server is run with root privileges.

CVE-2024-31080 [HIGH] xorg-server, xwayland regression xorg-server, xwayland regression USN-6721-1 fixed vulnerabilities in X.Org X Server. That fix was incomplete resulting in a regression.
