NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream xorg-server package and not the xorg-server package as distributed by Alpine.
See How to fix? for Alpine:3.20 relevant fixed versions and status.
A flaw was found in the X.org server. Due to improperly tracked allocation size in _XkbSetCompatMap, a local attacker may be able to trigger a buffer overflow condition via a specially crafted payload, leading to denial of service or local privilege escalation in distributions where the X.org server is run with root privileges.
