CVE-2023-0494 not yet assigned priority: Debian including 2 source packages (xorg-server, xwayland), 9 status rows across 5 suites (bookworm, bullseye, forky, sid, trixie): resolved 9.
A vulnerability was found in X.Org. This issue occurs due to a dangling pointer in DeepCopyPointerClasses that can be exploited by ProcXkbSetDeviceInfo() and ProcXkbGetDeviceInfo() to read and write into freed memory. This can lead to local privilege elevation on systems where the X server runs privileged and remote code execution for ssh X forwarding sessions.
