Upgrade RHEL:9 tigervnc-license to version 0:1.12.0-14.el9_2.9 or higher.
This issue was patched in RHSA-2024:9579.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream tigervnc-license package and not the tigervnc-license package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:9 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.
