How to fix?

Upgrade RHEL:9 xorg-x11-server-common to version 0:1.20.11-31.el9_6 or higher.
This issue was patched in RHSA-2025:9303.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream xorg-x11-server-common package and not the xorg-x11-server-common package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:9 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.
