Commit 446ff2d317 added checks to
prevalidate the size of incoming SetMap requests.
That commit checks for the XkbSetMapResizeTypes flag to be set before
allowing key types data to be processed.
key types data can be changed or even just sent wholesale unchanged
without the number of key types changing, however. The check for
XkbSetMapResizeTypes rejects those legitimate requests. In particular,
XkbChangeMap never sets XkbSetMapResizeTypes and so always fails now
any time XkbKeyTypesMask is in the changed mask.
This commit drops the check for XkbSetMapResizeTypes in flags when
prevalidating the request length.
(cherry picked from commit 8b7f4d3259)
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.
