CWE-416

Description

A flaw was found in X.Org Server Overlay Window. A Use-After-Free may lead to local privilege escalation. If a client explicitly destroys the compositor overlay window (aka COW), the Xserver would leave a dangling pointer to that window in the CompScreen structure, which will trigger a use-after-free later.

Affected configurations

• x.org x server (< 21.1.8) • fedoraproject fedora 36 • fedoraproject fedora 37 • fedoraproject fedora 38
