The `DisableDevice()` function is called whenever an enabled device
is disabled and it moves the device from the `inputInfo.devices` linked
list to the `inputInfo.off_devices` linked list.
However, its link/unlink operation has an issue during the recursive
call to `DisableDevice()` due to the `prev` pointer pointing to a
removed device.
This issue leads to a length mismatch between the total number of
devices and the number of device in the list, leading to a heap
overflow and, possibly, to local privilege escalation.
Simplify the code that checked whether the device passed to
`DisableDevice()` was in `inputInfo.devices` or not and find the
previous device after the recursion.

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
