Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream xorg-x11-server-Xorg package and not the xorg-x11-server-Xorg package as distributed by Amazon-Linux. See How to fix? for Amazon-Linux:2023 relevant fixed versions and status.

A flaw was found in the Big Requests extension. The request length is multiplied by 4 before checking against the maximum allowed size, potentially causing an integer overflow and bypassing the size check.
