Summary

Jan-Niklas Sohn working with Trend Micro Zero Day Initiative found an
issue in the X server and Xwayland implementations published by X.Org.
CVE-2024-9632 can be triggered by providing a modified bitmap to the X.Org

as root or remote code execution (e.g. x11 over ssh).


For Debian 11 bullseye, this problem has been fixed in version

We recommend that you upgrade your xorg-server packages.
