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:8 relevant fixed versions and status.

A stack-based buffer overflow flaw was found in the X.Org X server and Xwayland. _XkbSetMapChecks() declares a fixed-size stack buffer mapWidths[256] indexed by key type index. The helper function CheckKeyTypes() writes to this buffer at a client-controlled offset, allowing a stack buffer overflow. This may be used to crash the server, or for privilege escalation if the X server runs as root.
