Advisory Release Date: 2023-11-29 23:18 Pacific
Advisory Updated Date: 2023-12-04 21:37 Pacific
Severity:
Important
Issue Overview:
A use-after-free flaw was found in xorg-x11-server-Xvfb. This issue occurs in Xvfb with a very specific and legacy configuration (a multi-screen setup with multiple protocol screens, also known as Zaphod mode). If the pointer is warped from a screen 1 to a screen 0, a use-after-free issue may be triggered during shutdown or reset of the Xvfb server, allowing for possible escalation of privileges or denial of service. (CVE-2023-5574)
