Upgrade AlmaLinux:9 xorg-x11-server-source to version 0:1.20.11-24.el9 or higher.
This issue was patched in ALSA-2024:2169.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream xorg-x11-server-source package and not the xorg-x11-server-source package as distributed by AlmaLinux. See How to fix? for AlmaLinux:9 relevant fixed versions and status.

A out-of-bounds write flaw was found in the xorg-x11-server. This issue occurs due to an incorrect calculation of a buffer offset when copying data stored in the heap in the XIChangeDeviceProperty function in Xi/xiproperty.c and in RRChangeOutputProperty function in randr/rrproperty.c, allowing for possible escalation of privileges or denial of service.
