Description

A flaw was found in X.Org Server Overlay Window. A Use-After-Free may lead to local privilege escalation. If a client explicitly destroys the compositor overlay window (aka COW), the Xserver would leave a dangling pointer to that window in the CompScreen structure, which will trigger a use-after-free later.

Solution(s)

  • suse-upgrade-xorg-x11-server-extra

  • suse-upgrade-xorg-x11-server-wayland
  • suse-upgrade-xorg-x11-server-xvfb
