CVE-2026-50262 Details
Description
An out-of-bounds read flaw was found in the X.Org X server and Xwayland in __glXDisp_ChangeDrawableAttributes(). A wrong size validation check can read a client-controlled number of bytes, exceeding the request buffer, leading to information disclosure. A write path also exists but requires byte-swapped clients which is disabled by default.
A vulnerability allowing out-of-bounds read has been identified in the X.Org X server and Xwayland, specifically within the GLX function ChangeDrawableAttributes. This flaw arises from an incorrect size validation that permits reading a client-controlled number of bytes, surpassing the intended buffer limit. Such behavior can lead to unauthorized information disclosure. Additionally, there is a write path vulnerability that, while disabled by default, could be exploited by byte-swapped clients.
Users can upgrade to X.Org X server version 21.1.23 or Xwayland version 24.1.12 to address this vulnerability.
