NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream xorg-server-hwe-16.04 package and not the xorg-server-hwe-16.04 package as distributed by Ubuntu. See How to fix? for Ubuntu:16.04 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.
