From 56351307017e2501f7cd6e31efcfb55c19aba75a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Matthieu Herrb Date: Thu, 10 Oct 2024 10:37:28 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] xkb: Fix buffer overflow in _XkbSetCompatMap() MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit The _XkbSetCompatMap() function attempts to resize the `sym_interpret` buffer. However, It didn't update its size properly. It updated `num_si` only, without updating `size_si`. This may lead to local privilege escalation if the server is run as root or remote code execution (e.g. x11 over ssh).
