Aaron Plattner 72c5d153c9 xfree86: NUL-terminate strings in hwEnableIO
The Linux version of xf86EnableIO calls a helper function called hwEnableIO().
Except on Alpha, this function reads /proc/ioports looking for the 'keyboard'
and 'timer' ports, extracts the port ranges, and enables access to them. It does
this by reading 4 bytes from the string for the start port number and 4 bytes
for the last port number, passing those to atoi(). However, it doesn't add a
fifth byte for a NUL terminator, so some implementations of atoi() read past the
end of this string, triggering an AddressSanitizer error:

  ==1383==ERROR: AddressSanitizer: stack-buffer-overflow on address 0x7fff71fd5b74 at pc 0x7fe1be0de3e0 bp 0x7fff71fd5ae0 sp 0x7fff71fd5288

Fix this by NUL-terminating the string.

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.

For a comprehensive overview of X Server and X Window System, consult the following article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X_server

All questions regarding this software should be directed at the Xorg mailing list:
