OESA-2021-1078 (CVE-2020-25712)
Vulnerability from osv_openeuler – Published: 2021-03-05 11:04 – Updated: 2026-08-06 11:04 – Source websiteX.Org X11 X server.
Security Fix(es):
A flaw was found in xorg-x11-server before 1.20.10. A heap-buffer overflow in XkbSetDeviceInfo may lead to a privilege escalation vulnerability. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to data confidentiality and integrity as well as system availability.(CVE-2020-25712)
A flaw was found in the way xserver memory was not properly initialized. This could leak parts of server memory to the X client. In cases where Xorg server runs with elevated privileges, this could result in possible ASLR bypass. Xorg-server before version 1.20.9 is vulnerable.(CVE-2020-14347)
