Package : xorg-server
CVE ID : CVE-2024-9632
Debian Bug : 1086244

Jan-Niklas Sohn discovered that a heap-based buffer overflow in the
_XkbSetCompatMap function in the X Keyboard Extension of the X.org X
server may result in privilege escalation if the X server is running
privileged.

For the stable distribution (bookworm), this problem has been fixed in
version 2:21.1.7-3+deb12u8.

We recommend that you upgrade your xorg-server packages.

For the detailed security status of xorg-server please refer to its
