CVE-2018-15863 libxkbcommon: NULL pointer dereference in ResolveStateAndPredicate resulting in a crash
Last modified: 2018-10-26 07:25:00 EDT
Unchecked NULL pointer usage in ResolveStateAndPredicate in xkbcomp/compat.c in xkbcommon before 0.8.2 could be used by local attackers to crash (NULL pointer dereference) the xkbcommon parser by supplying a crafted keymap file with a no-op modmask expression.
