Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-10-02 13:03:29 UTC
ProcXIPassiveUngrabDevice() passes client-supplied modifier values
directly to DeletePassiveGrabFromList() without validating them.

DeletePassiveGrabFromList() may reach DeleteDetailFromMask() which uses
BITCLEAR(mask, modifier). The mask is allocated as 8 Mask words (256
bits). A modifier value > 255 causes BITCLEAR to index mask[modifier>>5]
past the allocation, resulting in a controlled single-bit-clear at an
attacker-chosen heap offset.

Add the same modifier validation that CheckGrabValues() uses: reject
modifiers that are not XIAnyModifier and have bits set outside
AllModifiersMask.
