NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream tigervnc-server-module package and not the tigervnc-server-module package as distributed by Oracle. See How to fix? for Oracle:7 relevant fixed versions and status.

A buffer overflow flaw was found in X.Org and Xwayland. The code in XkbVModMaskText() allocates a fixed-sized buffer on the stack and copies the names of the virtual modifiers to that buffer. The code fails to check the bounds of the buffer and would copy the data regardless of the size.
