Details
A vulnerability was found in X.Org xwayland and xorg-x11-server. It has been classified as very critical. This affects an unknown part of the component XRes QueryResourceBytes Swap Path. The manipulation with an unknown input leads to a integer overflow vulnerability. CWE is classifying the issue as CWE-190. The product performs a calculation that can produce an integer overflow or wraparound when the logic assumes that the resulting value will always be larger than the original value. This occurs when an integer value is incremented to a value that is too large to store in the associated representation. When this occurs, the value may become a very small or negative number. This is going to have an impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The summary by CVE is:
A integer overflow that can lead to a buffer overrread in the XRes QueryResourceBytes Swap Path in the X.Org xwayland before 24.1.15 and X Server before 21.1.26 on 32bit systems could be used by authenticated clients to crash the X server.
