The handling of appending/prepending properties was incorrect, with at least two bugs: the property length was set to the length of the new part only, i.e. appending or prepending N elements to a property with P existing elements always resulted in the property having N elements instead of N + P. Second, when pre-pending a value to a property, the offset for the old values was incorrect, leaving the new property with potentially uninitalized values and/or resulting in OOB memory writes. For example, prepending a 3 element value to a 5 element property would result in this 8 value array: [N, N, N, ?, ?, P, P, P ] P, P ^OOB write The XI2 code is a copy/paste of the RandR code, so the bug exists in both. CVE-2023-5367, ZDI-CAN-22153 This vulnerability was discovered by: Jan-Niklas Sohn working with Trend Micro Zero Day Initiative Signed-off-by: Peter Hutterer <peter.hutterer@who-t.net> |

X Server
The X server accepts requests from client applications to create windows, which are (normally rectangular) "virtual screens" that the client program can draw into.
Windows are then composed on the actual screen by the X server (or by a separate composite manager) as directed by the window manager, which usually communicates with the user via graphical controls such as buttons and draggable titlebars and borders.
