Summary
Important: xorg-x11-server security, bug fix, and enhancement update
Details

X.Org is an open-source implementation of the X Window System. It provides the basic low-level functionality that full-fledged graphical user interfaces are designed upon.

Security Fix(es):

  • xorg-x11-server: xorg-x11-server-Xwayland: xorg-x11-server: stack buffer overflow in font alias resolution due to libXfont2 name length mismatch (CVE-2026-50256)
  • xorg-x11-server: xorg-x11-server-Xwayland: xorg-x11-server: use-after-free in miSyncDestroyFence() (CVE-2026-50257)
  • xorg-x11-server: xorg-x11-server-Xwayland: xorg-x11-server: stack buffer overflow in XKB key types due to unchecked shift levels (CVE-2026-50258)
  • xorg-x11-server: xorg-x11-server-Xwayland: xorg-x11-server: stack buffer overflow in XKB SetMap request via mapWidths indexing (CVE-2026-50259)
  • xorg-x11-server: xorg-x11-server-Xwayland: xorg-x11-server: use-after-free in FreeCounter() (CVE-2026-50260)
  • xorg-x11-server: xorg-x11-server-Xwayland: xorg-x11-server: use-after-free in SyncChangeCounter() (CVE-2026-50261)
  • xorg-x11-server: xorg-x11-server-Xwayland: xorg-x11-server: out-of-bounds read/write in GLX ChangeDrawableAttributes (CVE-2026-50262)
  • xorg-x11-server: xorg-x11-server-Xwayland: xorg-x11-server: use-after-free information disclosure in CreateSaverWindow() (CVE-2026-50263)
  • xorg-x11-server: xorg-x11-server-Xwayland: xorg-x11-server: out-of-bounds heap write in DRI2 DRIGetBuffers/DRIGetBuffersWithFormat (CVE-2026-50264)

Bug Fix(es) and Enhancement(s):

  • [xserver] Backport other security fixes without a CVE assigned [almalinux-9.8.z] (JIRA:AlmaLinux-184288)
