Doc Text:
An out-of-bounds read flaw was found in the X.Org X server and Xwayland in __glXDisp_ChangeDrawableAttributes(). A wrong size validation check can read a client-controlled number of bytes, exceeding the request buffer, leading to information disclosure. A write path also exists but requires byte-swapped clients which is disabled by default.

Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-06-05 08:12:12 UTC
A wrong size validation check in __glXDisp_ChangeDrawableAttributes() can read (or write) a client-controlled number of bytes, exceeding the request buffer. The write path requires byte-swapped clients which is disabled by default. The read can lead to information disclosure; the write can crash the server or enable privilege escalation if the X server runs as root.

Any X client that can connect to the server can trigger this issue.

Components affected: xorg-x11-server, xorg-x11-server-Xwayland
Versions affected: xorg-x11-server <= 21.1.22, xorg-x11-server-Xwayland <= 24.1.9

Fixed upstream in xorg-server-21.1.23 and xwayland-24.1.12.
Fix: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver/-/commit/6d459e4daf715bea8abdafa8fb130be2f8a1d145
