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

A heap overflow flaw was found in X.Org and Xwayland. The computation of the length in XkbSizeKeySyms() differs from what is written in XkbWriteKeySyms(), which may lead to a heap-based buffer overflow.
