NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream tigervnc package and not the tigervnc package as distributed by AlmaLinux. See How to fix? for AlmaLinux:8 relevant fixed versions and status.

A flaw was found in the X.Org X server. This use-after-free vulnerability occurs in the XSYNC fence triggering logic, specifically within the miSyncTriggerFence() function. An attacker with access to the X11 server can exploit this without user interaction, leading to a server crash and potentially enabling memory corruption. This could result in a denial of service or further compromise of the system.
