Summary
xorg-x11-server-xwayland security update
Details

Xwayland is an X server for running X clients under Wayland. %package devel Summary: Development package Requires: pkgconfig %description devel The development package provides the developmental files which are necessary for developing Wayland compositors using Xwayland. %prep %autosetup -n xwayland- %build %meson \ -Dxwayland_eglstream=true \ -Ddefault_font_path="catalogue:/etc/X11/fontpath.d,built-ins" \ -Dbuilder_string="Build ID: -" \ -Dxkb_output_dir=/lib/xkb \ -Dxcsecurity=true \ -Dglamor=true \ -Ddri3=true %meson_build

Security Fix(es):

An out-of-bounds memory access flaw was found in the X.Org server. This issue can be triggered when a device frozen by a sync grab is reattached to a different master device. This issue may lead to an application crash, local privilege escalation (if the server runs with extended privileges), or remote code execution in SSH X11 forwarding environments.(CVE-2024-0229)

A flaw was found in the X.Org server. The cursor code in both Xephyr and Xwayland uses the wrong type of private at creation. It uses the cursor bits type with the cursor as private, and when initiating the cursor, that overwrites the XSELINUX context.(CVE-2024-0409)
